"The stay was right on the bay, and the host was incredibly friendly and always checking in with guests to ensure they had everything they needed to feel right at home. She was very bubbly and funny! The only issue we had was that the shower was freezing after only a few minutes, and no matter whether I turned it off for a while it didn’t get warm again. There were also a lot of rules written around the building stating charges if guests didn’t abide, so I did feel a little on edge about possibly being charged for accidentally doing anything. Some felt unnecessary and as though I was at school, but I understand that there have likely been events in the past to feel the need to enforce those things. This is a really beautiful stay in the Catlins, and we saw sea lions on the beach!"

"Great view of the beach from the accommodation and easy access to the beach for walks. Rooms are well lit so you can read at night easily with lots of power points to charge your appliances. As this place is in Curio Bay, it’s recommended to bring your own food as grocery shops and dining out options are scarce. Check in instructions were easy to follow. A relaxing stay with the bonus of location being beachfront with uninterrupted beach view."
