Beachfront Hector’s House in Curio Bay

ConnorRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

We had an amazing couple of nights here…fantastic location with the beach at the doorstep and an easy walk to the petrified forest. If you’re looking for a relaxed, honest place to recharge away from it all then this is the place. Wish we’d stayed longer…

Beach Feet Retreat, Kaka Point, Catlins Coast

SusanRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We've stayed here before - it's a great place for a family to stay. Great view, roomy, very clean, and nice to have both a heat pump and wood burner. Big kitchen with nice sharp knives for food prep. Bathroom was very tidy with nice soap. Beautiful sunsets, great swimming beach, easy to pop to Balclutha for groceries. You can explore the Catlins and come home to a cozy home - highly recommend.

FionaRating, 5 stars6 days ago

Perfect apartment stay. Grant is super welcoming and helpful. The space is roomy and immaculately clean. The kitchen was so well equipped with milks, spreads, juice and bread, gourmet muesli selection and a nespresso machine. We loved our stay here and would definitely come back/recommend to friends.

Robbie's Beachside Studios (A)

MollyRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We had a wonderful stay at this beachfront Airbnb! Waking up to the sunrise right from bed was definitely a highlight of the trip. The location couldn’t have been better, with the beach just steps away. The place was simple but had everything we needed and was much more comfortable than we expected for the price. It was clean, cozy, and had all the essentials covered. We were honestly impressed by how great it was considering how affordable it was. We had a fantastic time and would definitely come back! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxed beach getaway.

Beach Front Oasis - Jacks Bay, Catlins

MandyRating, 5 stars4 days ago

Jacks shack was a perfect tiny home retreat for our 2 night stay in the Catlins. It had everything we needed, and a bonus of a lovely walk (Jacks Blowhole) right in its backyard. No TV meant we could really immerse ourselves in the surrounds, and the cozy heater and fire pit were nice. We enjoyed the bubbles, chips and dip! Thanks Ashlee for a great stay.

Motupōhue Base Holiday Home - 2 bedroom House

HayleyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Lovely renovated house with a decent sized yard, fully fenced (albeit one gap so if you have small dogs, you most definitely need to supervise them) and within walking distance to cafes, restaurants and Four Square. Wifi details are on the fridge (ignore the details on this app). Christine was lovely and quick to respond. Great place to stay to explore the Deep South of NZ!

The open layout of the space offers a view of the beach through large windows, enhancing natural light. A dining table with several chairs faces the window, while a kitchen area is visible in the background. The ambiance suggests a relaxed atmosphere.

Jan's house is in a magic location with the deck and sunroom, as well as the master bedroom, overlooking the sea. We watched some stunning sunrises without having to leave the property! The crib is well setup, clean, and had everything we needed. The fire in the lounge made it very cosy on the cooler nights. I highly recommend this place. We will be back!
