Independent in Kaka Point from NZ$126

"This was a gem of a property to find. The historic house and the hosts were exceptional. We were only there for 1 night, but they made us feel like friends that had returned for a visit. Absolutely recommend a stay here. And the homemade breakfast breads were amazing!"

"As you pull up the crib is hidden from view by well tended mature plants and what a delight you’ll get as you emerge from the path. The well maintained, comfortable and well laid out accomodation surpasses expectations, we loved our 2 night stay. The outside areas were also better than expected and we enjoyed both meals and relaxation in the spaces, which also enjoyed awesome views of the sweeping beach to Kaka Point village, a lovely 15minute walk away along the beach. A lovely 10minute drive along the coast, in the opposite direction, brings you to the spectacular Nugget point.We highly recommend this crib to others."

"Our ensuite was clean, updated, had a sofa for comfortable seating. It was small but we don’t mind small. The ocean view was limited. It’s located in a small village in a mostly residential area with only one restaurant that was closed the day we were there, which they had notified us in advance. "

"Great stay . Close to the beach . Comfortable accommodation. "

"The place is clean and tidy "

"Great location. Extremely clean. Second time staying here."

"We had a very good time in Papatowai. The Surfinn Eco Cottage is a good starting point for many activities around. We loved the room upstairs wit the nice view on the river side."

"Jill is a lovely host, and presents the place beautifully. Everything was beautiful & well cared for.This was the top of our accomodation price range & with Owaka's remoteness, seemed a bit steep. "

"I had the pleasure to visit the Catlins again this year so took the opportunity to stay agsin in Surat as well this accommodation. The owner very friendly & helpful. It’s a great wee spot & property has awesome views of the sea & bay area. Large grounds as well with outdoor seating. Definitely will stay another time. "
