CanadaEverything was lovely and the views from the unit were amazing. Our bedroom was great with a comfortable king bed and great shower/bathroom. Everything was very clean and the hosts were very friendly without being intrusive. We were the only guest so had the common area to ourselves as well and enjoyed the excellent included continental breakfast. Highly recommend The Salty Bushman for your stay in The Catlins.

United KingdomJill was very warm and welcoming giving us useful information. I wasn't sure about the quirky colour scheme of the house and decor at first but it fitted in with the house followed a theme. Breakfast was lovely and presented in a very quaint way. She recommended Surat Bay which is a lovely sandy beach for seeing sea lions and we had our 1st sighting (and only so far) of them there.

From
AustraliaThe house is beautiful, warm and very comfortable. There are two bedrooms with double beds, a room with double bunks and a sofa bed in the living room. The layout of the house is so good, and a huge bonus was a lockup garage. The kitchen was extremely well equiped plus there is a laundry with washing machine and dryer. The air-conditioning was very much appreciated as it was freezing, raining and hailing most of the day. Be sure to get supplies along the way as there really isn't any shopping in and around the area, though there are some cafes.

Charming. Very nice host. Muffins are truly amazing! Standard motel...a bit dated yet still has a stepped up feel. Nice linens, very comfortable bed. Kichen is small but well equipped for a short stay. Room was super clean.

One early anoon and night arrival was enough for us to eat lunch at hotel, visit Nugget Point lighthouse, beach walk and relax on deck as sun set but if keen to go out on long hikes another day or 2 would be an advantage. Hotel closed Mondays but food van on beachfront nearby open and cafe a short drive away.

Owaka is a small town with limited facilities (although the Lumberjack Cafe is really first-rate). The surrounding area is the draw. Catlins Lake is right outside of town and, since it is really an estuary, it is a great place to observe shorebirds while surrounded by fields of sheep. The coast itself is characterized by wide beaches punctuated by rocky headlands and coastal forest, and abundant waterfalls. It is a really fine area for a three to five day stay.

Beautiful setting teeming with bird life and sea life at the inlet and beaches. Easy to get to Waipapa Point, Slope Point and Curio Bay - all so close. Great amily friendly café at Niagara Falls for lunches with lots of toys for the kids and tasty meals.

Loads of wildlife to watch- we saw bellbirds, fantail, a yellow eyed penguin, sealions all within a few meters of where we were staying. We walked over to Jacks Blow hole following the doc track beside the accommodation. We were down for a School reunion but have previously visited sites such as McLean falls, Purakanui falls, Surat bay, Cannibal bay, Curio Bay, Horseshoe falls. All well worth a look around. This is some of New Zealands presitine rainforest and home to many bird species as well as the world's rarest penguins - Hoiho - Yellow Eyed Penguins.

Great place to visit with many waterfalls in the vicinity and lots to see in the area and close by. Some great history about the place to learn about also.
A visit Slope Point (most southerly point of the South Island) and Nugget Point Lighthouse is a must.
Tip for eating...make sure you stop at Peake' s Kitchen in Papatowai and try either their Home-made Peake's Pies or their Famous Beef Burger (Winner of the "Supreme Burger 2025" title as part of "Burger Nation NZ")...you won't be disappointed!

This was within walking distance around the corner petrol too.

Kaka Point is a very rocky but beautiful beach.
Kaka Point is a very rocky but beautiful beach. Plenty of seals to see. The Nugget Point lighthouse isn't far away and the walk isn't prohibitive. The cafe ("The Point") is worth it and probably the most desirable choice in the area because you are right on the beach.

Owaka is a small village, it has an excellent Inn especially for accommodation. The village has a small but well stocked supermarket, it has two restaurants and two cafes. It is quiet and peaceful. It is well located for visits to sites along the coast. It has a modern museum that gives you information on the history of Owaka it also had an art exhibition.

Travellers just need to be aware that Niagara Falls is a joke, but it is a lovely place to stay. Possibly, Curio Bay around the corner would be a more spectacular place to stay, but Niagara is only a short driving distance away.
We used Niagara as our base to get to Invercargill, after travelling from Dunedin. We spend a day visiting Mclean falls, unfortunately Cathedral Cave was closed.

Comfortable beds, nice restaurant and bar-although we only bought drinks.
The ladies toilets were not cleaned thoroughly and the lighting was very dull in the kitchen.
McLean falls are definitely worth the walk.
