"peaceful."

10.0

Fantastic stay, Very cozy cottage perfect for the four of us. Had everything we needed and more. Could see and hear the waves crashing on the beach from the porch. Heaps to do nearby, with bush walks fishing and exploring rock pools. Can't wait to stay again.

Could have done with a couple more dishwasher tablets.

"Remote get away"

9.0

The house is comfy and has everything one would need. It is a bit remote, but that is not a bad thing. It has a lovely view of the sea and ample seating outside to enjoy it. The main bedroom has a very comfy bed. The garden area surrounding the little house had the most beautiful hydrangeas.

"Our first trip to the beautiful Catlins, definitely will not be the last."

10.0

The location was a wonderful surprise. The views were spectacular from every window. Pacific Ocean in front & green fields & paddocks surrounding the cottage.

We hated leaving our beautiful cottage. Our next stay will definitely be longer. The local grocer was friendly & had lots of great advice for seeing the local sights.

"Great place for a countryside stay"

8.0

Beautiful setting: far reaching views, wonderful privacy, great washer/dryer facilities. A flock of Silvereyes to entertain us just outside the window. Plenty of wood for the wood stove.

There was virtually no running water in the kitchen. They did leave a note telling us of the fault, but it was very inconvenient having to fill bowls at the bathroom tap to do anything in the kitchen. There were just two of us and I shudder to think if we’d been a full house.
