Seabreeze Cottage, by the ocean in Brighton, Otago

AmruthaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Beautiful seaside cottage with access to the beach right across the road! Very accessible to go to Dunedin. Janet was very responsive and she was very thoughtful in leaving us breakfast and bread. The cottage had toys and beach amenities to enjoy! We had the most wonderful time :) will definitely be visiting again!

Kaka Point Luxury Spa Accommodation - Catlins

LaurenRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We absolutely loved our stay! The unit was clean, has stunning views and was very peaceful and relaxing! We really appreciated the kitchen being stocked with fresh milk, orange juice and muesli! It was lovely to come back to a spa at the end of the day after adventuring around The Catlins. Thank you Lisa :)

Fabulous beach front house by the sea

AshleeRating, 5 stars5 days ago

Thank you for a lovely stay in Brighton at your beach house. We enjoyed the location, especially being so close to the beach. The house was well presented and tidy. With the added bonus of a trampoline and wee play house outside and games/movies for the family. Would love to stay again 😊

Chrystalls Beach

OscarRating, 5 stars1 month ago

I really appreciated the host putting so much love and attention into the house. It really was perfect! After traveling the whole world, this is by far one the most beautiful beaches I have seen. You can see the sea lions from the bedroom window and on a short walk I saw a penguin. While there are little houses next to the property, the neighbors are seldom there. I stayed for a month and saw people maybe two or three times. The rest of the time it felt extremely private. The house is about 25min drive on an unpaved road from Milton. A super tiny town. So if you want to get away, this is the place. What a hidden gem! Super recommended.

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…

Hilltop Catlins - Papatowai Country Lodge

4.8 out of 5 average rating, 46 reviews2 months ago

Stuart & Robyn are friendly & accommodating hosts who came & welcomed us in person shortly after we checked in. They had some great tips about things to do, etc. The house & especially the views are absolutely stunning! Looking out at the water over breakfast at the outside table in back & enjoying a glass of wine while watching the sheep settle in for the night out front were highlights of our stay. This may have been our favorite stay in the whole 3 weeks we are in NZ. We really couldn’t ask for anything better than this!

Tiroroa - our barn with an ‘extensive view’

4.91 out of 5 average rating, 246 reviews3 weeks ago

We picked the place for the chance of minimum light pollution to admire the starry sky and it didn’t disappoint us. This place is so remote, it’s such a charm in case you just need to go “away” for some time. Being a perfect hangout for kicking back and daze off, it is not too far away from many interesting trails. The three alpacas are absolutely adorable.

Stableburn Cottage: Unique off-grid family bach

4.95 out of 5 average rating, 62 reviews1 week ago

Wonderful place for a relaxing stay. Absolutely stunning scenery, and such a cosy spot. It was so wonderful to be able to bring our dog, too - he was in heaven running around, and having Sarah be so accommodating with him allowed us to relax even more. Lovely touches throughout like candles, and the fire ready to go if we needed it! The outdoor bath was also a fabulous treat that we thoroughly enjoyed. Will definitely be back!

There was only 2 of us rattling around in that huge house haha, but it was so homely. Alvin made us feel right at home straight away. We had the most relaxed time with everything we could think of needing. Thanks Alvin. I look forward to seeing the finishing touches on your treehouse. I definitely would pay to stay there!

A lovely tidy place with all the amenities. We were 6 people plus an infant so it felt a bit small for us since there’s only one toilet and shower, and we couldn’t all fit around the dining table, but other than that it was great. Toys and games for the kids, a fully equipped kitchen, a big comfy couch and bean bags for us all to enjoy the view out the front, and comfy beds.

Spacious Beach Retreat - Catlins

This is an older home with the quirky features of one, but most importantly it was CLEAN! The linens clean and fresh, kitchen and the rest of the home as well. Lots of room to spread out, lots of wood to keep us warm, many games, books and magazines. The puzzle coffee table was great and the evening found the family gathered around it. Location was good view o and close to the water. Highly recommend.

Cute coastal crib with stunning ocean view

4.97 out of 5 average rating, 86 reviews1 month ago

Bull Creek is an absolutely lovely spot. Quiet and remote with lovely bush and beach walks. The neighbours were friendly and helpful without being intrusive. Walking in the nearby bush being deafened by the bellbirds a definite highlight. Views from the house of the sea was spectacular and the coastal walks and seeing the seals and lots of birds was another highlight. All of us agreed that we would love to stay again.

Justine's place is a lovely, relaxing spot in a beautiful setting. It's a bit removed from restaurants and stores, so bring provisions. Justine is very helpful and responsive. After a day of hiking and sightseeing, it's a perfect place to relax in solitude, build a fire, and gaze out across the landscape

Honey Farm Cottage - Otago NZ

AndreaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Carlees’s place was absolutely fantastic. She knew we were traveling with our 8yo daughter and invited her to feed the sheep with them. It was a fantastic experience. Her home was warm and inviting, and everything from the fresh bread and honey to the amazing views was perfect. They even recommended a local Indian takeaway that was very good. I would definitely stay here again when we return to NZ.
