Monthly Rentals in Surat Bay

The Catlins was an area that we wished to explore as it is described in many publications as beautiful and peaceful. On arrival at Skylark we could not see the property from the main road due to low cloud / mist, however as we started to settle in the view appeared and what a view. At that point we knew we had chosen well. The accommodation itself is superb, beautifully decorated and fitted with quality furnishings throughout, we were provided with a great selection of breakfast products including some home made natural yoghurt. We took up the opportunity to accompany Karl pre breakfast experiencing his moving of sheep between areas, to see him and his dogs move over 1000 sheep with ease was an experience we will not forget. He then took us to some of the far reaching locations on the farm to enjoy some spectacular views. Taking into account the location, the property, the owners and not forgetting the views this must be one of the best stays we have enjoyed on our travels.

Ashlee's Airbnb is absolutely stunning down to the last detail—amazing views, an outdoor heater, a comfy bed, and chips with kiwi dip in the cupboard. We experienced both sunshine and storms during our stay, and it was such a lovely spot. Highly recommend, and we hope to come back one day. Thank you!

Beautiful place in an amazing location, great views. Super clean and really comfy bed.

Our party of three stayed two nights in this property, and it worked out fine. We wanted a place to stay somewhere along the Southern Scenic Route between Invercargill and Dunedin so as not to rush the trip - sort of break up the trip into two segments in order to accomodate the tides at Cathedral Caves. We used the house as a base to explore East of Cathedral Caves: Jack's Blowhole, Surat Beach, Nugget Point lighthouse, and Roaring Bay Penguin Observatory. The house has a great view and the gardens are lovely. It's really peaceful at night. The house was clean, and the clear instructions for working the gas stove were great. Communications with the hosts were fine. We very much enjoyed our time in this home.
