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.

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.

First time staying in a tiny home, and I love it!! The place has everything you need and is really comfy (although it did get really cold at night!). The hosts were super kind and waited pretty late for me to arrive.
It is a small, modest village, with many unoccupied baches...
It is a small, modest village, with many unoccupied baches when I was there. The natural features of water, bush and beach are unspoiled. However, the nearest facilities in Owaka are limited, so expectations should be adjusted accordingly. It has a small 4 Square Supermarket, a couple of cafes, and a very obliging restaurant which was closed for a private party, but made me a nice meal to collect . I returned the plate in the morning!!

We used Pounawea as a Catlins base.
We used Pounawea as a Catlins base. Visited Nugget Point, Purakunui Falls, Matai Falls, McLean Falls, Lake Wilkie, The Lost Gypsy Gallery, Papatowai, Cathedral Caves. Loved the bush walks and spectacular scenery.
A highlight was watching seals frolicking metres from the shoreline.
Great spot for relaxing and unwinding while enjoying nature's beauty.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Pounawea.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Pounawea. Very quiet and peaceful. Very close to Surat Bay, which had sea lions and seals on beach. 36 kms to Nugget Point lighthouse, Roaring Bay and 26 kms to Kaka Point. Owaka Museum (about 4km) is a must visit and was only $4 each for seniors ($5 for adults). Plenty of accomodation to suit every budget in Pounawea. Owaka township had a small supermarket (Four Square), gas station and cafes.
