Family getaway

We travelled for a short family getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. It was a great, private and peaceful property. Hosts were understanding and flexible with our unforeseen circumstances, requiring us to postpone our travel dates. Definitely recommend!

Wonderful Farm Cottage Stay

The property is reasonably centrally located in the Catlins and it is not too far to travel to good cafes, small supermarkets and good places to eat. The cottage is very tidy and quiet as it is situated on a farm - it is very well appointed and is very comfortable. Stuart and Robyn communicated very well and made us feel very welcome - we would highly recommend this property .... John
