I highly recommend anyone reading these lines to stop thinking and book Norman's place.
I stayed there for 1 night with my wife and we only have positive things to say. Norman is super friendly and was accommodating as we did a late check-in. He showed us our room which is in a separate house and looks fantastic, with view on the Ocean.
We had great conversations with Norman while tasting the beers that he brews himself. We couldn't resist but to buy some bottles. The next day, we headed to Nuggets Point, only 5km down the road, so the location is perfect to start exploring the Catlins region.
