"Great location! Right on the beach and many activities to do that were very close! Place itself was very nice with kitchen and sitting areas!"

"Very clean, friendly, beautiful location"

"Perfect location, delievered what was needed. Relaxation. Walks and encounters with nature"

"Ray was very friendly and welcoming. The room was comfortable and warm. Didn’t realise it was separate from the bathroom although that was in the description. No sign of a hot tub? Would be better in the summer to enjoy the deck."

"We were looking for country experiences on our trip to NZ and this was a great stop with a very friendly host. Ray was watching for us at the driveway to his quaint setting. Beautiful flowers and trees nestled near a river with pastures of sheep. Ray offered alot of info regarding nearby sites and lifestyle in his part of NZ. The property is small and separate rooms for fridge and kitchen/bathroom which is detailed on his site."

"We stayed 3 nights. The view is the star of this accommodation. The house is clean and welcoming, zoned, with lux inclusions like the big tv, spa pool, deep bath, double rain head shower, open plan living/ kitchen and large garden set in rural location away from it all - Retreat. However, it is equally a great base to explore nature in the Catlins. High recommended."

"A lovely spot to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. A small trek in from car park but hosts offered to help with luggage."

"I was literlary on a flying visit through the area and needed a quiet, peaceful and clean place to stay. I was wowed by the cabin and licarion. Having the bsach access withing 2 mins was fantastic! It was just what i needed."

"We stayed four nights in this older farm house. There’s so much room, a nice big kitchen and the view and fresh air were wonderful. The beds had lovely linen but were softer than our liking. The single bathroom was on the opposite side of the house from the bedrooms. Other furnishings are a bit tired and shabby, but we were not really at the house very much because there is so much to explore in the area. We also appreciated Melanie letting us stay one night up the hill at her studio as I didn’t...
