We couldn't ask for anything more from this property - it was clean and tidy, with all the essential appliances and conveniences. The beds were great and our hosts friendly and helpful. A real gem of a find - we will be back again.

Lovely getaway
We really enjoyed our stay, comfy beds and all the utilities needed. The use of the camping ground kitchen is a bonus when washing up for a large group. Also the extra toilet is helpful for when the main bathroom is in use.

Amazing!!
Bailey and Shelly were amazing to deal with. Nothing was a bother, great facilities and the heat pumps were kindly turned on before we arrived. The house was really tidy and warm. We would totally recommend staying here if you want to get away and be a stoned throw from the beach 😀

Family weekend
The unit was very clean and tidy. Only one t-towel could have done with a couple more for 9 of us. It was frosty weather and that could have been the problem why we had no hot water. Overall though a great place to stay.

Peaceful getaway
The apartment was large, spacious, comfortable and warm and well able to cope with the extended family. A great base to explore the hidden gems of the Catlins. The fact that it was very quiet at night and the comfortable beds made it a great opportunity to recharge our batteries.

Was a good weekend in Owaka
The flat was attached to another, so the noise travelled. Other than that, the house was really nice, tidy, warm and a lovely stay.

Property was clean and comfortable
We had a lovely stay, the weather could not have been better. We experienced a sensitive smoke alarm that the manager came to help turn the noise off and how we could reset if it were it to go off again. We all failed to understand the instructions to make the TV work, so gave up. Minor things really that did not spoil our stay. Thank you Regards Pauline
