Bed and Breakfast in The Catlins

"Traveling for 3 months in NZ... only here 2 nights but wished we had more time! Steph was quick to answer any questions/concerns promptly. Location is close/walking distance to town with a great restaurant! Surrounded by bush and beautiful bird calls. Bach was clean and cozy with a warm fireplace to add to the ambiance!We found spices/seasonings above the fridge the day we left... not sure if it was okay for us to use but I never contacted host as some properties do provide essential cooking basics while others do not. Either way I would come back here for sure!"

"Fabulous views of the bay, comfortable unit."

"Picked a unit with sea view (lighthouse in distance) which really made it for us! Comfortable unit."

"The crib had all we wanted for our short stay. The kitchen was well equipped, sofas comfortable and the shower was excellent. As well as sightseeing in the area, we enjoyed walks on the beach and relaxing in the crib. We stocked up on food before arriving which was just as well; no shops were open when we visited!We stocked up on food before arriving which "

"What a fabulous find. Extremely clean place, walking distace to the beach to find sealions basking in the sun, well equipped kitchen with comfy beds and a sunny lounge to relax in. A geat meeting place of interesting travellers, and the best hosts. Thankyou so much for your hospitality. 💝💖"

"Great little place to spend the night near Owaka."

"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."

"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. "
