8 / 10Excellent·Feb 2026
Really liked the individual nature of the property. It had a lot of character. Although the owner was not present a colleague was available across the road who was friendly and welcoming and who we felt would have been very helpful had we needed anything.

We are grateful for the opportunity to stay in the house, it was cosy and warm, as per the description as well as being in a prime location to visit the the catlins. We couldn’t hope for any better.Thanks again.

We were pleasantly surprised with this cottage. It's more spacious than it looks from the outside, having 2 bathrooms and laundry facilities was a huge bonus and the decor was an endless eclectic feast for our eyes! Constantly discovering interesting things to look at and read. Great internet connection, but no TV.... we played card games with our teenagers, roasted marshmallows in the fire and enjoyed Sparklers at midnight on New Year's Day. The kids even got a lesson in working the record player and they loved it! The property manager lives across the street and sne is absolutely delightful. Anything you need is just a phone call away. Location is also perfect for all the hikes and bays that surround Owaka, but unfortunately, we were rained out. The Museum was charming and there is a playground right around the corner. Quite a good one, with an under 5's area and a basketball hoop. Thanks for the memories Owaka!
