Catlins respite
Ray was very friendly and welcoming. The room was comfortable and warm. Didn’t realise it was separate from the bathroom although that was in the description. No sign of a hot tub? Would be better in the summer to enjoy the deck.

A Wonderful Get Away From It All Place
From the very word go we were made to feel very welcome by our wonderful host Ray! We were very comfortable and had everything we needed! Ray was so helpful with advice as to what places to visit (and there are a good many!). We will be happy to stay here again, especially as we didnt managed to see everything we wanted this time! Thank you for your hospitality Ray!
