We had an amazing stay! Ronel was super friendly and helpful, she was very accommodating and made delicious breaky each morning :) The room/main area is very modern, stylish and clean. Love the little touches. The view is exceptional and a close walk to the beach. Comfy bed and great wifi! We enjoyed the shared space with other travellers. We will be back!

Due to my poor route planning, I arrived very late. The homeowner gave me many reminders on the way, which made me feel very warm. The next day, they also provided us with a lot of itinerary planning, which was very considerate and patient, and gave us a lot of great advice. The accommodation environment is also particularly quiet and comfortable, providing a lot of convenience. If given the opportunity, I will continue to stay.

I couldn't fault this accommodation, spotlessly clean, very comfortable and already warmed for us when we arrived. Lots of lovely little extras that we didn't expect in the fridge too. Stunning views and great location.

Extremely clean. Kitchen was fully stocked (pots, bowls, plates, glasses, mugs, silverware, other utensils, and a full range of appliances and cleaning supplies). Heater worked well. Beds and couches were very comfortable. Bathroom was great. And the views of the ocean from both the living room and the main bedroom were nothing short of stupendous.

Very things we needed in the house and the location is fantastic with a large private lot and lots of flowers. The house looks like it was newly renovated.

Jenny kindly offered us some home reared bacon and home grown heritage tomatoes - a real bonus - we cooked them up in our little kitchenette and made the most delicious bacon and tomato butties - which we ate in the garden overlooking the sea - just fabulous

The apartment is beautiful, big and spacious with large windows and a marvellous view. We liked all, especially the comfortable bed, the bathtube with whirlpool and the ocean view. The last morning there was an awesome and spectacular sunrise with rainbow, the best ever we had. From Kaka Point we could visit easily many places of the Katlins, so we loved it. The responsable woman was very helpful and friendly, f.e. with the key and all our questions.

Absolutely fantastic little gem for a couple's getaway! The location and scenery is spectacular. Loved Jack's bay so much. Very quiet and serene at night. Lots of little touches made the stay special - matching and tastefully picked out crockery and cutlery, sharp knives, very comfortable bed with quality linen. Even chip and dip with a bottle of cold bubbles on arrival! Bbq clean and with all the accoutrements - even cleaning wipes. They have thought of everything!! Thank you so much!!

The apartment was absolutely beautiful with amazing views of the ocean. It was immaculately clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. I would stay here again in a heartbeat, I wish I could live in this apartment! Also Laura was very helpful when we had to rearrange our booking due to flooding.

The accommodation was very welcoming and cosy. Facilities were excellent (great heat pump).
It was perfect. Such a fabulous view of the ocean and beautiful birdsong in the morning.
Additional touches such as a picnic backpack for guests were really lovely.

I found Kaka Point had a lovely peaceful community vibe. The weather turned during my short stay there, but that didn't spoil my walk out to the lighthouse at Nugget Point. It was extremely windy with very rough seas, which made me appreciate how hard shipping must have been back in the day.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

There are lots of beautiful walking spots. Due to raining we had to skip the spots we were interested in. Start kaka point (we saw seals), nugget point ( beautiful view it’s must)., Paramaribo fall( it’s beautiful). We missed taituku boardwalk (next time!)We booked whistling frog resort to stay one night. It was good choice because of location. McLean fall and cathedral cave are close by. Clean and comfortable accommodation.
