So much room with a fabulous view.
We stayed four nights in this older farm house. There’s so much room, a nice big kitchen and the view and fresh air were wonderful. The beds had lovely linen but were softer than our liking. The single bathroom was on the opposite side of the house from the bedrooms. Other furnishings are a bit tired and shabby, but we were not really at the house very much because there is so much to explore in the area. We also appreciated Melanie letting us stay one night up the hill at her studio as I didn’t book the five nights I thought I booked; she was really gracious about that situation.

Tranquil beauty
Melanie and Karl’s house is very comfortable with beautiful views over the green countryside and Catlins Lake. It was so tranquil. Loved watching the cattle, horse, chickens and sheep go about their daily routines - not much happens, but a lot of socialising

Amazing Farm house
Loved the view, comfortable beds, hosts friendly, extra room for the kids to play.
The bathroom is a little separated from the bedrooms and relatively small. But not an issue. Enjoyed our stay!

The perfect country get-away
Karl and Melanie care about their guests’ experience. This comes through in the well presented the accomodation and them going above and beyond. The kids loved feeding the chickens, especially Kevin the rooster !

Peaceful farm setting
We loved waking up with the sounds of the birds and the misty Catlins lake nearby. The renovated farmhouse is very well set up, stylish and comfy with everything we needed. Mel and Karl are friendly and welcoming. We LOVED Karl taking us around the stock and showing us their farm which has breathtaking coastal views.
