Independent in Tawanui from NZ$128

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

"When we first arrived we were a little underwhelmed by this motel it does not make a good impression upon arrival. However once we in our large room and noted that it had recently been refreshed we were more appreciative. We then remembered how reasonably priced it was for such a large room and noted the excellent view from the room's balcony. Kaka Point is well worth a visit and this motel is a very worthy place to stay. "

"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. "

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

"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"
