The home was so beautiful and clean! We loved the layout with beautiful views all around us. If you are looking for solitude this is the place for you. It is VERY isolated without any cell reception or wifi for miles. Not even at the nearby Niagra cafe. You had to drive out for 25 minutes for reception.
We came during a downpour rainstorm and trying to drive up the narrow steep muddy farm road was a bit dicy. Our small rental car was not designed for that so it was sliding all over the place. Not having a way to call for help in case we needed it was worrisome.
Get food before getting to the Catlins. There are no grocery stores for over an hour away from the house.
The Catlins are beautiful just very isolated.
