Great accommodation - quiet, fantastic location and well run”

Stayed 4 nights in a standard cabin and was very impressed by the holiday park. It is only a small place, but friendly, well-run and also with a fantastic location. The beach literally starts from the corner of this place, which makes walks along the long beach very easy. Location is lovely too, you drive a few km alongside an estuary to get here, yet Owaka (small supermarket, petrol station and cafes) is only 6km drive away. Friendly and helpful owners too. Despite being only a standard cabin, it came with a fridge, TV and also a DVD player. In the office they have a great selection of DVDs too. Cabins were warm, clean and big enough and because the park is only small, then were also quiet. The main kitchen/lounge block is also good, books and games there as well as a TV. It was cleaned daily and was always very clean. For the price paid, it was a bargain, and more pleasant than some other nearby places that we have stayed in. Wish we could have stayed longer. Highly recommended

Great spot”

Great holiday park. Easy access to the beach and estuary. The facilities were great and our room spacious and clean. Highly recommended

Excellent”

FREE WiFi only offer 200mb, That’s Not enough especially this place no signal of cell phone! This holiday Park nearby beach. Then I can saw sea lion on the beach. It’s a Special experience!

Catlins Gem”

I really enjoyed this experience, close to the ocean, clean and tidy, a great place for children for their safety and enjoyment. My stay was very pleasant and I would definitely recommend this Park, its facilities, its proximity to nature. It was easy to meet other people from all over the world and Kiwis.

AGENCY CHARGES FOR A BOOKING”

The cabin we had for one night was exceelent at the quoted price of $NZ112.00 BUT without any notice a charge of $NZ172.00 was made to our bank account. This was a RIP OFF by an overseas agency who should be banned from operating in NZ. Noel.

Bad experience”

There is no any phone signal on the holiday Park.The reception gave me 200mb WiFi access code,BUT it didn’t work at all. You can only have 5mins showers paying $2 extra,it makes you feel awful when you don’t have coins.

Extra-mile, amazing staff”

We arrived on a wet day, but was warmly welcomed by Deborah. What blew us away was the extra-mile she took in coming to our cabin before we were about to check-out to ask us to stay put as the road conditions were very bad due to adverse weather. She kept checking weather and road closure updates and gave us the all-clear-but-be-careful signal around noon. Exceptional experience which we are so grateful for. All in, a wonderful experience, and only wished the weather was better so we could stroll along the beach. Thank you, Deborah!

Warm welcome from most helpful staff”

We arrived at the destination late, the very friendly staff still show us around with her thin jacket during winter night. After knowing we come to try our luck on aurora, she even go extra mile to search and print out some information online. We are so touch and feel so heart warming.

Amazing place!!!”

What a wonderful place to stay. The accommodation was excellent. The kids lived the giant chess game. The owners were magnificent. Even gave us a shell for a souvenir. Walked the beach to see the sea lions and so much more. Perfect little hideaway.

Excellent Nature Trip in Catlin, Southland of NZ”

We saw sea lions near the beach, just 200 meter walking distance to the bushes track in the morning, you will have chance to see the sea lion. Very close distance to nature scenery such as Bay, Waterfall and more importantly to visit Nuggets Point Light house... about 25 min drive.

Exceptional”

Was such a great place to stay at for the night, perfect location right on the beach. The staff are so accommodating and welcoming, who made our experience even better! Would love to come back here again

Excellent base for getting to all the Catlins bays and settlements. Lovely people, great facilities ”

Quiet, good walks, wifi, but phone coverage not always good. A wMder down the road a bit and it's good there. . Well go there again and enjoy the views, comfort and peace.

Staff friendly nice little spot near beach

Old and isolated.”

Although the staff were very obliging and helpful the location and age of the facility are not appealing.
