The place is on top of the hill and there is a very pleasant view out of the living room window if you are lucky enough to get some good sunny weather. It's a big house, with a nice living space and very comfortable bedrooms. There is a fireplace and a cozy kitchen, which we enjoyed greatly. The location is relatively good, you have a lot of options in terms of places to visit in the Catlins which aren't very far away from the house, and there is a supermarket with a few cafes/restaurants in Owaka just about 20 minutes drive from the house. We enjoyed out stay!
