    It was very cozy. Probably the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in! I also forgot to bring honey for my tea and the host graciously gave me some!

In the absolute heart of the Catlins in the Tahakopa Valley. This semi detached cabin/studio is set in a tranquil, idyllic seasonal garden setting full of native bird life. Surrounded by farmland with spectacular valley and mountain views and podocarp rain forest. The Tahakopa river is 100m away and winds it's way down the valley to the wonderful estuary and beach at Papatowai. Enjoy the lovely setting of this romantic spot in nature. Please Note: There is no Kitchenette or Bathroom facilities within the cabin bedroom. They are in their own designated rooms off the covered patio area, refer pictures.
Very friendly quiet little hamlet surrounded by farmland, permanent population only about 20, a few more at holiday time. 200m sealed main street, little traffic, no footpaths 2 street lights.125 year old school with tennis court, river 100m away, scenic walking track to remains of Sir Truby King's historic railway bridge, tiny church and heritage hub 100m away.
