Catlins Retreat B & B

Owaka

Catlins Retreat B & B is situated in Owaka. Featuring garden and quiet street views, this guest house also includes free WiFi. Guests can access the guest house via private entrance.

At the guest house, every unit comes with a desk, a flat-screen TV, a private bathroom, bed linen and towels. Some units have a seating area and/or a patio with outdoor furniture. All units will provide guests with a wardrobe and a kettle. Lovely and relaxing place to stay. We were warmly welcomed into a space that is comfortable and spacious. What I particularly liked was that there was attention given to details which may seem minor, but really do make a difference. Things such as having soft and fluffy towels, hot drink packets topped up daily, bathroom amenities and so forth. It is really convenient to the rest of the town, and is a great base for exploring the Catlins as the drive to various destinations is not too far and Owaka has a number of places to eat at. Definitely book in here!
