Much gratitude to Michael for sharing his beautiful, super spacious home with us. We felt welcomed from the first step inside with all rooms nicely decorated, pristine clean, very comfy beds and a well equipped kitchen, if required and a nice touch of shortbread and milk to welcome us. A hot tub at the end of a busy day exploring the Catlins was much appreciated, all while taking in the magnificent views of the lush farmland. Michael's place was a perfect base, close to Catlins Horse Riding where we all had an amazing experience trekking with Cara, Cathedral Caves to be enjoyed with the right tide, magnificent McLean Falls, dinner at The Point Cafe, Kaka Point, superb meal, with views of a full moon rising and glistening on the ocean. Owaka township a 5 min drive, Museum we'll worth a visit, dinner at Lumberjacks, great meal in a quiet, personable atmosphere. A must stop at the Catlins Country Store and purchase with fun loving, knowledgeable Dane. A wonderful stay, thank you 😊
