Allie, our host, was incredibly friendly and helpful and provided excellent information about the area. The furnishings and decor are quirky and fun, especially if you like Victoriana. We really enjoyed having our cup of tea and breakfast on the old-fashioned china while sitting at the charming breakfast table in the sunny bay window.

Able to let myself in and not be hovered over by the owners. If they went past, they waved and smiled and let me enjoy the space.
The bed was really comfortable and the space was immaculate. Loved looking out over the garden and sitting outside relaxing. Close to Lake Waihola and within an hour to Dunedin.

Lovely setting, so close all the town’s amenities, yet so quiet and private. The rooms are very spacious, and it was a delight to sit outside on the terrace and enjoy my evening meal.

This venue was chosen because of the proximity to Cathedral Caves. McLean Falls were also worth the look. We knew this would be rustic, but the chalet accommodation was fantastic.
The restaurant was great but closes its doors at 6pm. They also make great coffee.

Everything was perfect. The bed was comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with supplies, including breakfast foods. The location couldn't be better - a five minute walk to the beach and an easy drive to surrounding attractions. It was so quiet and private.

Locations, facilities, room, cleanliness.
Accommodation is right near Sea Lions beach, we’ve seen them every time we headed towards the Surat Bay. They were 10m away, playing, swimming, relaxing. Amazing experience.

One early anoon and night arrival was enough for us to eat lunch at hotel, visit Nugget Point lighthouse, beach walk and relax on deck as sun set but if keen to go out on long hikes another day or 2 would be an advantage. Hotel closed Mondays but food van on beachfront nearby open and cafe a short drive away.

Owaka is a small town with limited facilities (although the Lumberjack Cafe is really first-rate). The surrounding area is the draw. Catlins Lake is right outside of town and, since it is really an estuary, it is a great place to observe shorebirds while surrounded by fields of sheep. The coast itself is characterized by wide beaches punctuated by rocky headlands and coastal forest, and abundant waterfalls. It is a really fine area for a three to five day stay.

Loads of wildlife to watch- we saw bellbirds, fantail, a yellow eyed penguin, sealions all within a few meters of where we were staying. We walked over to Jacks Blow hole following the doc track beside the accommodation. We were down for a School reunion but have previously visited sites such as McLean falls, Purakanui falls, Surat bay, Cannibal bay, Curio Bay, Horseshoe falls. All well worth a look around. This is some of New Zealands presitine rainforest and home to many bird species as well as the world's rarest penguins - Hoiho - Yellow Eyed Penguins.

Great place to visit with many waterfalls in the vicinity and lots to see in the area and close by. Some great history about the place to learn about also.
A visit Slope Point (most southerly point of the South Island) and Nugget Point Lighthouse is a must.
Tip for eating...make sure you stop at Peake' s Kitchen in Papatowai and try either their Home-made Peake's Pies or their Famous Beef Burger (Winner of the "Supreme Burger 2025" title as part of "Burger Nation NZ")...you won't be disappointed!

Kaka Point is a very rocky but beautiful beach.
Kaka Point is a very rocky but beautiful beach. Plenty of seals to see. The Nugget Point lighthouse isn't far away and the walk isn't prohibitive. The cafe ("The Point") is worth it and probably the most desirable choice in the area because you are right on the beach.

Owaka is a small village, it has an excellent Inn especially for accommodation. The village has a small but well stocked supermarket, it has two restaurants and two cafes. It is quiet and peaceful. It is well located for visits to sites along the coast. It has a modern museum that gives you information on the history of Owaka it also had an art exhibition.

Balclutha is a small rural country town, there all the facilities you need, plenty of places to eat out and shops etc. It is not a city with loads of night life. Dunedin is about an hour away It's a good base to explore the Catlins and the south of the South Island of NZ. The beach at Kaka point is only 20 minutes away there is a street food caravan serves excellent fish and chips. The drive from Balclutha to Cromwell, Queens Town, Wanaka, Milford sound and Lake Takapo are breath taking.

An historic wee town, that is quaint and quirky.
An historic wee town, that is quaint and quirky. We enjoyed the pub meal in the local hotel. The cafe across the road has great coffee and food. Sadly most of the shops were not open, and would only open on appointment. Im sure that if people stopped for an hour or so on the way through to Central Otago, they would find a hidden wee gem and a dollar spent in this community is worth more than a dollar spent in the tourist towns. Support local!
Hit the road and make the most of your trip by discovering another popular destination in New Zealand.
