Otago Coast paradise!
Glenn's place is paradise! The view, the house, the astronomy lesson in a spa overlooking the ocean, and on our last night we had a Southern Lights solar spectacular that we don't think we will ever see again. 360 degrees solar light show. Glenn is so helpful and we really had everything we need! This stay was beyond words really.

A Slice of Paradise
After a long year, we were getting away - and how fortunate to discover this idyll! The location is fantastic and the ever-changing view, stunning. The accommodation is very comfortable and you want for nothing. To be honest, you don't want to leave. Scott is an excellent host, and we are grateful that he has chosen to share this slice of paradise. We will most definitely return - next time for longer! This beautiful retreat is simply wonderful.

We selected the house as our final base for exploring the South Island of New Zealand and it exceeded all our expectations. To wake up in the morning to those fantastic views and after a long day exploring the area. To sit and have a glass of wine and look out at the views was wonderful. Glenn greeted us warmly and was very very helpful giving us tips on where to go.

We had a fantastic two nights here. Would have been happy not to leave and just look at the view all day but glad we explored around Karitane - good walks, beaches, wildlife. Glenn was a great host - very informative, helpful and friendly. The house is perfect; everything you need and can’t beat the spa with the outstanding views! Cosy and warm inside with the fire. Highly recommend.

Glenn's property provided the perfect spot for a productive and relaxing escape. The views are amazing. Proper amazing. And the hot tub is fantastic...especially if you get a clear night; the stars are mesmerizing. The property was perfectly tidy, with comfortable beds and a large deck with lots of seating options. Private and quiet, and with everything you need. Glenn could not have been a better host. It was a privilege to stay there and enjoy what he has created. If you think you need a break somewhere good for the soul, don't hesitate to stay here. I hope I have the chance to stay again some day.

Wonderful. Hihgly recommend.
A wonderful stay in a very unique and beautiful place. Glenn and his partner have transformed this place with a labor of love and vision. While not present in person, Glenn was available to help with a few minor issues. Overall, I would highly recommend it. Close by train noise at night may be an issue for some light sleeping folk though. Also, I would suggest a little more attention to the on site manual for instructions - particulary turning on the TV and the location of the recommended chlorine for the spa.
