Esther and the rest of the staff are incredibly kind and welcoming - I feel so lucky to have stayed here during my visit to the Catlins region. There are also plenty of sea lions just a short walk away that you can observe from a distance!

Very spacious 3‑bedroom house. The washer and dryer were great after we finished an overnight Doubtful Sound cruise.
