Staying at Noelene's place was the perfect getaway andrew and I were looking for. It was secluded at the top of a hill with a awesome view and located perfectly in the catlins. We could explore the outdoors during the day and had a cosy warm house to return to. Owaka is small but has everything you need, especially the little cafe on the Main Street was a good spot to have a lunch or afternoon tea break. Communication was perfect with Noelene, she made us feel welcome and homey even before we arrived and gave as local information to have a great time. Thank you so much! Hopefully we have the chance to be your guests again.
