This is an exceptional place to stay. Melanie and Karl are warm, hospitable and generous hosts. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Karl took us on a tour and we saw how a working farm functions and watched the dogs herd the cattle and the sheep. Melanie even did our laundry for us and we spent an evening chatting and drinking wine together. The location is stunning with views from the bedroom over the spectacular Catlin hills and coast line. The room is modern and spotlessly clean with an outside seating area. It is a beautiful and tranquil place to relax although there is also lots to see and do in the area. We ate dinner both nights at the Lumber Jack in Owaka which was excellent. I can’t recommend this Airbnb enough it was the best place we stayed during our trip to New Zealand. If you are travelling to the Catlins this is a fabulous place to stay.
