Modern chic and comfort at the beach. Although this was a self checkin situation, the hosts had thought of everything. We had all that we needed, great local information so we were well prepared for our stay. Perfectly positioned for exploring...

A lovely, spacious new apartment which was warm from the afternoon sun when I arrived.

Everything about our one night stay was excellent. New, clean, lovely accommodation. Peaceful setting on a wonderful bay. Only suggestion would be perhaps a railing around the deck might be a good safety feature.

Located in the heart of Curio Bay, this newly built apartment offers modern comfort, just a short walk from the beach. The apartment features a queen bed, a well‑equipped kitchenette with a hot plate and microwave, a spacious bathroom, and comfortable seating for relaxing with a book or enjoying the supplied card and board games. Guests can unwind on the private north‑facing deck, perfect for soaking up the sun or dining outdoors. A shared BBQ area is also available. Surrounded by native plantings and close to local attractions, this apartment is an ideal base for exploring the Catlins and enjoying a peaceful coastal getaway.
The property is located in the new Ara Pahu subdivision, just a 2‑minute walk from the beautiful Curio Bay Beach, where guests often spot Hector’s dolphins playing in the surf—and sometimes even swim with them. The petrified forest, a remarkable natural attraction buried for around 170 million years, is only a 10‑minute walk away. Tumu Toka Curioscape is a 5‑minute walk from the property and features an interactive museum about the petrified forest, a café, and a small gift shop. It also provides up‑to‑date information on the best times to view the rare yellow‑eyed penguins. Just across the road, guests can explore the Tumu Toka Living Forest, a short, well‑maintained bush walk showcasing native species such as rimu, mānuka, and tōtara—suitable for most fitness levels. The Catlins region offers many other scenic attractions, all easily accessible by car, making this property an excellent base for exploring the area.
