"Chilling out in the Catlins"

10.0

Jane- exceptional host. Fresh eggs and cereal with plenty of milk huge bonus. Loved outdoor covered area watching native birds am and pm sitting on a comfy sofa. Parking was great. Loved the outlook, short walk to the beach to view sealions. Great place to get away from it all. Saw lots of great books left for reading, never had the time, too busy enjoying the environment. Highly recommend

"Just perfect."

10.0

A fantastic location and the cottage was clean and well maintained. We couldn’t ask for a more relaxing experience and Jane ( the hostess) was perfect. I would totally recommend this cottage to anyone who wants a quiet peaceful beachfront holiday. We will certainly return in the future to continue our exploration of the Catlins area.

No complaints from us! Just a trip down memory lane to the 1980/s with no cellphone connection to spoil the experience ( wi fi is available if we needed to contact anyone) The locals were friendly and helpful plus there were several Sea lions playing in and around the estuary.

"Charming cottage for a relaxed time."

9.0

this accommodation was a cosy cottage by the sea, set in a cottage garden. Just what we needed to relax after a busy Xmas with family. Owner met us and introduced us to the accommodation, always a bonus to met a real person. The owner was a good communicator re the arrival.

We had to be careful with the electrics being an older cottage. We could not text but the internet was fine. Dusty road part of the way.
