Esther and the rest of the staff are incredibly kind and welcoming - I feel so lucky to have stayed here during my visit to the Catlins region. There are also plenty of sea lions just a short walk away that you can observe from a distance!

This cottage includes a garden and laundry facilities.
Booked for 5 nights, stayed 1 during the peak holiday season. A number of issues around cleaning following the last guests and a loud internal water pump next to one bedroom. Far from ideal. Property wasn’t as expected for the price.

"Great location, right on the beach with easy access into the surf! Only a short stay, but perfectly adequate facilities - and even managed to spot a few Hector’s dolphins cruising in the waves as we were checking out!"
