Decent room for price paid for 1 night. Bed on older side but slept well, quiet, and reasonably clean. Manager was also barkeep for the restaurant so bought a cold beer to take to my room.
Guests staying at Catlins Newhaven Holiday Park are a 5-minute walk from Surat Bay, a long sand beach in Newhaven, where you may be lucky enough to see a Hooker Sea Lion.

Although we didn’t see any wildlife, the staff were helpful in pointing out where they’ll likely be! Located a couple minutes walk from the beach.
Facilities are super clean! Shower takes a minute to warm up and are coin operated. I like that they are eco-conscious and use rainwater! Coins are given at checkout, one per person for 7 minutes.

Our cabin, Kaku, surrounded by trees and birdlife, overlooked rolling green fields dotted with sheep and the surrounding hills. It was so peaceful. Within 2 minutes walk were magical forest paths lined with magnificent tree ferns, crown ferns and undisturbed vegetation. The cabin was beautifully decorated, and contained books on the area, games, a well equipped small kitchen with a barbecue on the balcony. The old house on the estate was built in the 1920s and creates a feeling of timelessness. The owners helpfully supplied local history and tourist information and were so welcoming. We would have happily stayed longer in this unique oasis of tranquility and nature and would recommend it to anyone who appreciates these special qualities.
The air-conditioned vacation home is composed of 1 separate bedroom, a fully equipped kitchen with a microwave and a fridge, and 1 bathroom. Towels and bed linen are provided in the vacation home.

The tiny house concept is interesting. The decor was charming (especially the William Morris print bedspread) and the kitchen well stocked. It was great to pick apples and pears to eat. The owners are truly committed to the environment.
Located in the North Catlins, Surat Bay Lodge offers friendly private and dormitory rooms with free WiFi.

We had a 270 degree view of the bay from our corner room! Very friendly helpful owner. Very well equipped shared kitchen. Only a few rooms in the hotel so it was very quaint. Nice sitting area with a sun room. Clean bathrooms.

The owner is lovely, kind & helpful. She made us delicious muffins.
Lovely wee town! Make sure if you see the country store or little boutique stores open, you go and have a look!! My biggest regret is leaving that to our last day as there was so much to see! The park also has a nice picnic area too! Four square staff are lovely!!

Many environmental places nearby to visit. Exceptional museum/library that is worthwhile visiting. A few shops but interesting items. Local pub & cafes offer range of food.
All highly recommended.
Our must visits = Tunnel Hill (Take a torch), McLean Falls (track has a number of steps).
Owaka is walking friendly everywhere.

Owaka, Southland, Catlins, a very special and underestimated Paradise where you can find tranquility and inner peace. The Mother Nature makes you feel like you are the only person in this wonderful part of the World. I can't wait to come back here again.....

Nugget point lighthouse. Cathedral Caves.
Nugget point lighthouse. Cathedral Caves. Mclean Falls , Matai Falls and other Falls in the area. Plenty of nature walks and beautiful beaches, scenery, plenty for the nature lovers to explore. Good small shopping supermarket in Owaka even has small screw on EN517 gas canisters for reasonable price and other camping essentials. Very impressive for a small town. Would definitely recommend a stay in this Catlins area.

Handy 4 square, great wee pub, and I saw a cafe sign or two.
Handy 4 square, great wee pub, and I saw a cafe sign or two. Its a small kiwi town...evening walk along the street I saw one person. Dogs allowed at Thomas's. Lots of people staying there and still it was quiet and querky. A great economic place to base, and then travel each day to other areas...fantastic beaches and coastine. Walks are well signed and all levels of fitness catered for. Dog friendly in places too. Sealions on the beaches, seals in rock pools, and a photographers joy! Weather changeable so take your windbreaker, and comfy walk shoes.

Friendly and efficient information centre with gift shop and museum, IGA, cafes and restaurants. Within easy reach of Catlins attractions. A good place to base yourself when visiting the area. No spectacular views, but more facilities than just ther small centres in the Catlins.
