Summary: We were meant to stay at John’s place but there was a plumbing issue, which I’m sure is resolved by now. John made exquisite alternate arrangements for us. While I can’t comment on their listing per se, I can comment on their integrity. We were well taken care of considering the circumstances. A pleasure meeting John and his wife.

Summary: If you are after 5 star hotel luxury you probably shouldn't be planning on going to the Catlins. If you want a 'get away from it all' break then book up immediately. Everything you need is here. Make the most of the deserted beaches, the rainforest walks, abundant wildlife and the feeling that you've just stepped back in time.

Summary: We had a lovely few days using this as our base to explore the area. The house was comfortable and well equipped. The washing machine as mentioned is problematic. We ended up hand washing and just using the spinner. The owner was very responsive to our questions. Would recommend.
