Should have stayed longer!”

Was made to feel very welcome. Given a tour of the brewery which I really enjoyed. Norm is very passionate about his brewing and it showed in all the details. Room itself was really nice, spacious and comfortable. Had the best sleep in several days.

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.
