Self contained farmstay in Catlins/Rural Retreat

LynneRating, 5 stars4 months ago

Peaceful and perfectly outfitted ! Such a beautiful little cabin, thoughtfully designed, homely and with everything you need. Ella is a great communicator; responsive and friendly. Guy showed us a walk to the top of their property, with wonderful views. Being a working farm and attached to the host property and shed, you can see the operation, which is interesting and sometimes busy, but very quiet at night. A close drive to the Caitlin attractions. Eat at your table by the expansive view, read by the log burner and sleep in the most comfortable bed with natural bedding. Really lovely- we will be back!

Wonderful place for a relaxing stay. Absolutely stunning scenery, and such a cosy spot. It was so wonderful to be able to bring our dog, too - he was in heaven running around, and having Sarah be so accommodating with him allowed us to relax even more. Lovely touches throughout like candles, and the fire ready to go if we needed it! The outdoor bath was also a fabulous treat that we thoroughly enjoyed. Will definitely be back!

Thanks Tracy, the house was so easy to find and everything needed was all there. The space is very large, the kitchen contained the works, the bathroom was squeaky clean and the beds large, warm and super comfy. Highly recommended to all. Tracy allowed us to check in early even though ultimately we arrived late, but she was so helpful.
