Owaka classic

Jill is a lovely host, and presents the place beautifully. Everything was beautiful & well cared for.This was the top of our accomodation price range & with Owaka's remoteness, seemed a bit steep.

Lovely villa, place and people

A beautifully and lovingly restored old villa. It’s located in central Owaka which was excellent for access to a lot of North Catlins activities/waterfalls. The hosting was excellent, with useful info on everything from which food outlets would be open the evening I arrived to advice on ways of doing potential long one-way walks, and the best times to visit different locations. Thoroughly recommend (and especially to people who enjoy Edwardian homes!)

Jill is amazing

We were travelling with our 7month old baby. Jill was so amazing, she had all the items we needed; porta cot (made with clean sheets and baby blankets), baby bath, highchair even toys. She made our stay so easy and enjoyable. We would definitely go back 😊
