Melanie and Karl are fantastic hosts, sharing their beautifully appointed guest suite with panaramic views over the coastal bays and hills in the beautiful Catlins. The suite had everything we needed for a three day tour of the bays and tracks with waterfalls around this scenic region. Don't miss the farm tour with Melanie or Karl and their dogs in the back of the ute! On Melanie's recommendation, we had an excellent meal at the Lumberjack Cafe, in nearby Owaka. We would like to stay here on our next visit to the Catlins.
