Nice spot for staying near the Catlins...

Owners were terrific, place was fun and comfortable, Shared kitchen was just a little on the small side for the number of folks trying to use it, but we cooperated and managed! Walks on the beach were great, saw sea lions!

Great location as near the beautiful big beach. Saw a sea lion basking in the sun. Cabin was well equipped, though a shelf in the bathroom for our toilet bag would have been useful.

We had a wonderful time in a very complete cabin. We could cook because of a good d fridge and cooking tools. The owner reacted adequately when another guest tried to claim our cabin., very late in the evening. And we saw 4 sea lions on the beach. We can recommendate this accommodation.

Very pleasant one night stay

A short drive from Owaka - itself a pleasant enough village/town that's worth a stop for a coffee - this is well serviced accomodation in a beautiful location. The cabins are well equipped with linen, TV, a toaster and a kettle (although bring your own towels), and there are also some shared facilities for cooking. But the real reason to stay is the walk along the beach, which is accessible from the site, when the tide is low. We only stayed for a night, but this would also make a great hub for exploring other parts of the Caitlins. (I also appreciated the use of coins to limit people's shower uses.)

Second visit and another triumph

Second time staying here and although the weather was, again, less than great, it was still a great time and the units and overall space are still really well maintained. Surat Bay is accessible and, further along, so is cannibal bay. Owaka nearby is also a lovely spot for an hour or two, with a solid restaurant, great coffee place, superb book shop and quaint little museum and community space. It is a beautiful spot, far from the world where all you'll hear are birds, the sea and wind moving through water ... And rain! Lots of rain! But without the rain, you wouldn't get that lush kiwi green.

an ideal place to stay for nature lovers and families who want to introduce their children to it. Our apartment had two rooms with shower and toilet so we didn't have to share it and we also had a well equipped kitchen which served us well. On the grounds there is a small playground and a common room with kitchen shower toilet and washing machines (which you have to pay for). The surrounding area is great with a few steps or minutes drive you can see sea lions in the wild, lots of different bird species and flowers. Weatherproof clothing should be taken at least at our time of travel (OCT/NOV). Shopping facilities are available in Owaka and should be planned.
