Don't be deceived by the hotel description that it has fantastic views. It does have some views but for many of the rooms the view is a bit limited. When we rang to reserve our room we were directed to the luxury spa suite. They were right it did have the best view, but even then we have to say... More

Spacious, clean and comfortable rooms with a spectacular view across the bay to Nugget Point. A very warm welcome with helpful information about the places to sea nearby (penguins, sea-lions, waterfalls etc.) The 'studio' was made up of a bed alcove with double bed and a sitting room with sea views and access to a shared deck with a small...

Our stay here was very nice. We had a two bedroom for the three of us. We were on the side with four units. 14 total. Self contained with laundry machines in the office. What a nice place. The owner Coral gave us lots of great information with a map. If we could have braved the water, she had boogie... More

Another on spec approach and we were offered the luxury spa unit - which had to be the best place we stopped, anywhere. The view from the balcony is to die for. Seriously. Again, like everywhere we stayed on our road trip round South Island, we found the owners pleasant and very welcoming and the accommodation immaculately clean and well... More

The motel and units are located up a hill from the waterfront so the elevated position affords a view. We stayed in one of the self-contained units with an outlook to the ocean. The unit was spacious, the furniture adequate, and the bed comfortable. Although we didn't self-cater, the kitchen appeared to have everything necessary. The proprietor was helpful and... More

Clean, quiet unit..bed a bit hard for my liking...could do with a topper pad. Gosh...i must be getting old...or i didnt have enough to drink...Great little pub down the road for beer n food and a chat with the locals. Paddy was a great host.

We were pleasantly surprised at the spaciousness and more than adequate heating in the unit we were assigned. Not only was the bedroom warm and cosy, there was adequate heating in the toilet area. Having experienced inadequate heating in certain motels in Southland, we really appreciated the warmth the various heaters offered inside. Coral was very helpful in providing information... More

Our studio, one of the cheapest one, was spacious with a fully equipped kitchen. The room was slightly old but clean and fully functional. The motel is well located at the gate to the Catlins. The only bother was the confort of the mattress.

our group of 12 stayed overnight here. Three -bedroomed units all adjoined at the back of a wide deck with views over looking Kaka Point. Great spot for a group BBQ. Wonderful service. BBQ was all ready for us to use. Very friendly hosts and all too willing to advise us on our stops as we progressed through the Catlins.
