The Ocean View! Close drive to Nugget Light & easy access to locations along the coast. The room was a good size & comfortable bed. Norm is a great host. try his beer. Highly recommend.
I didn't really dislike the bathroom but it is small & the sink extra tiny- too tiny but it worked for just me.

Perfect for a one night stay.”

The location for an over night stay to access Nugget Point lighthouse was perfect. The ability to see the Catlins craft brewery on sight and sample product was a bonus. Norm MacLeod the director of the company was the perfect host.
