Jenny is really friendly and she welcomed us when we arrive and showed us around. She told us to quickly go get some dinner as the only shop in town was about to close. She also shared with us an absolutely delicious Paua Pie which she made.

Very Good - What previous guests thought, 308 reviews
Super comfy, warm and fully equipped room with plenty heating options, comfortable bed, very clean, and the host super nice. I accidentally mistaken and picked a wrong date, when I asked her if its ok to change it for the next day she agreed and asked me to cancel the original reservation. Unfortunately, i didn't understand that at the time and didn't cancel it. Only later as we arrived I came to realize that she lost that night as it was still booked on me. I felt horrible and offered to fully pay for that extra night. The kind hostess said she won't charge me for that, and believed me that it was an honest mistake. Later that evening she even dropped by to give us milk and muffins she have made! Lovely place, lovely hostess. Thank you!

This place is run by a wonderful couple that are very accommodating and easy to chat with. It is right on the inner most part of a bay with a beautiful walkway to the water. It is very clean and comfortable and oh so quaint! There is a little beach. They have camping and RV sites as well. We stayed in a big cabin with a bathroom and kitchenette but most only have a bedroom with a shared bathroom and shower across the way! Do the upgrade for the bigger cabin with these amenities, it is well worth it! We have enjoyed every minute here and would are referring anyone we know that is traveling to stay here! Thank you to these great hosts!

This venue was chosen because of the proximity to Cathedral Caves. McLean Falls were also worth the look. We knew this would be rustic, but the chalet accommodation was fantastic. The restaurant was great but closes its doors at 6pm. They also make great coffee.

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.

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!

A nice spot close to Owaka for essentials and not too far from Balclutha either. We found some books in 2 shops (second hand) at Balclutha but there was also a "library" fridge just across the road from the accommodation. Also a nice coffee just at the end of the street.

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.
