Summary: Magnificent views & wonderful property. Could not have been better. Excellent, welcoming host as well. 6 out of 5 stars.
Colin B. Feb 15, 2025 02:21:22 AM
Summary: Lovely 3 bedroom bungalow with stunning views of the bay in front and hills behind. Great base for visiting the Catlin coast and its many attractions. Saw NZ sea lions on the beaches at Surat Bay and Cannibal Bay only 10 mins drive. Local town of Owaka has some good takeaways and a couple of restaurants. I would definitely recommend this property

Summary: We had 2 wonderful nights staying here and wish we had allowed an extra day and night as know we didn’t get to see all of the Catlins. The accomodation and the location of it was perfect for our needs and felt a home away from home. We would definitely come back and stay here when we are next in the area.
