Independent in Purakaunui from NZ$125

"Great place to stay, comfy bed. Had everything we needed!"

"The Catlins and surrounding coast are well worth a look in any extended NZ trip. Ray and Tania’s cosy cabin was as described. Great hosts, Ray had great advice about what to see and do. A little gravel road for 7km to reach an isolated small rural town far away from the crowds. Clean. Excellent outdoor area with BBQ. Rustic cabin adjoining the main house with attached private kitchenette and bathroom"

"great spot,quiet and peacefull..handy to beach...will b bak"

"Great location if you’re visiting Nugget Point. The panoramic of the ocean from our open windows was fantastic. "

"Excellent place. The house is beautiful and perfectly equipped for a family. We will come back."

"Very clean, quiet, peaceful property with kind hosts."

"Second time staying here and although the weather was, again, less than great, it was still a great time and the units and overall space are still really well maintained. Surat Bay is accessible and, further along, so is cannibal bay. Owaka nearby is also a lovely spot for an hour or two, with a solid restaurant, great coffee place, superb book shop and quaint little museum and community space. It is a beautiful spot, far from the world where all you'll hear are birds, the sea and wind moving through water ... And rain! Lots of rain! But without the rain, you wouldn't get that lush kiwi green."

"Wonderful river view with peace"

"We had a wonderful time. We enjoyed the fire. Everything was lovely and clean. Handy to the beach. Great communication. Loved hearing all the birdsong in the morning. Hope to come again."
