What a special place, one of the most beautiful beaches is right behind the property and my cabin was super cozy. Lounge, kitchen, and bathrooms were very neat and comfortable. Absolutely loved it here!

Nice spot for staying near the Catlins...

Owners were terrific, place was fun and comfortable, Shared kitchen was just a little on the small side for the number of folks trying to use it, but we cooperated and managed! Walks on the beach were great, saw sea lions!

Such a lovely spot with everything we needed in the fully equipped cabin. Little views of the water and easy walk to the beach & peace. Thank you!!!
Maurice, 1-night trip

A little to remote for us. Cabin was nice and toasty after the heater ran for a while. Very clean. Overall a nice stay.
Bradford, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Love the location. Place was clean and comfortable for our short stay here. Wifi was great. Kids loved playing in the small beach area and the chess set.

10/10 Exceptional

Just beautiful surroundings. We saw some sea lions resting on the beach. The cabin is well equipped and the shared bathrooms spotless clean. Great campground for a relaxing and peaceful time.

8/10 Very good

Great location and service

Came in late for check in but everything was already prepared and the place was complete with the basic necessities, plus very close to some scenic places.

10/10 Exceptional

Great location as near the beautiful big beach. Saw a sea lion basking in the sun. Cabin was well equipped, though a shelf in the bathroom for our toilet bag would have been useful.
RUTH, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Loved being so close to a beach at which e could watch sea lions. Kitchen was well equipped with cooking equipment, and the cooks knife in our cabin was amazingly sharp (a rarity in holiday parks).

10/10 Exceptional

The property is nearby to a beach where we managed to see some sea lions. The apartment itself is also well-furnished. Host is friendly and helpful.

Right next to beach to see sealions. Comfy unit.
Susan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very pleasant one night stay

A short drive from Owaka - itself a pleasant enough village/town that's worth a stop for a coffee - this is well serviced accomodation in a beautiful location. The cabins are well equipped with linen, TV, a toaster and a kettle (although bring your own towels), and there are also some shared facilities for cooking. But the real reason to stay is the walk along the beach, which is accessible from the site, when the tide is low. We only stayed for a night, but this would also make a great hub for exploring other parts of the Caitlins. (I also appreciated the use of coins to limit people's shower uses.)
David, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Laid Back spot right on the coast

We stayed in cabin #3, which was roomy and comfortable for 2 of us. (There’s a 2nd bedroom with bunk beds, which we just used for storage of the too much stuff we were hauling around.). Location is outstanding for walking along the beach and seeing sea lions. Dining options in the nearby town of Owaka are pretty limited, but the Whistling Frog in Chaslands about 46 km west is pretty good if you are going that way.
