Hospitality of our hosts and the cottage had everything we needed. We enjoyed the sea views and ability to walk easily to a spectacular beach and stunning forest loop walk. Our hosts Mary and Fergus are vibrant with roots in art, conservation and tourism, and it was a highlight to meet them.

We aren't resort people, we wanted budget friendly, decent place. This place is it for us, Lynn and husband, neat people. large clean room, comfy bed, great TV. It rained the night we were there, so lots of selection on the TV. Quiet place, clean. I would stay here again. The Chinese food across the street is pretty good too. Perfect place to explore the Catlins from.

    Lovely motel, great location. Tess was very lovely and welcoming. The kitchen was well equipped and was great to have electric blankets, as it was fairly cold at night, the rooms also have radiators so again was nice to have those to keep warm in winter. Would definitely stay again if around that area.

    We have stayed here a few times and have found these hotels to have everything you would need to have a good stay, whether as a couple or with a family. The facilities are a bit dated but well maintained and very clean as are the grounds outside. They come with covered parking and a few friendly cat visitors! I would highly recommend this Motel for convenience and comfort.

    The motel was very comfortable, located close to all facilities in Owaka. The hotel was homely and had all facilities we needed. We were greeted with fresh muffins by the proprietor who ensured the unit was to our liking. Heating was more than adequate for the weather. Given other accommodation options in the Catlins were scarce, we were more than happy to find such a good motel.

    This is the best motel I have stayed so far. The unit was new and super clean, fully equipped kitchen, they pay attention to many details and overall it’s just cosy. The manager through the phone was very friendly, the heater was on when we arrived late:) super affectionate cat accompanied us during the morning and amazing red sky during sunrise. Overall very peaceful and calm place:)

    This was a lovely little motel, well equipped and very comfortable. Our hostess (Gaynor) was a delight and the muffins we were greeted with in our room were such a nice treat. Thank you so much!
