Like all other guests have said, you cannot beat the views from this beautiful spot! We loved just staring out the many windows at all the colors of the hills, ocean and estuary or watching the hawks, cows and sheep beyond the beautiful garden. But the location is such that you'll also want to be out exploring because it is so close to all of the wonders of the Catlins. We didn't get to meet Hilary and Keith due to family emergency, but they were in constant contact and ensured that we were happy.
