Carols place was everything that we wanted and needed. Very handily positioned to the many great attractions of the Catlins area you need to spend at least a couple of nights to be able to see it all. We appreciated Carol dropping us off a freshly baked loaf of bread and enjoyed viewing her garden. I think that must be growing NZs southernmost kauri trees. Its not 5 star luxury but it is very clean and tidy and has a very comfortable bed.
