Top The Catlins Hotel Reviews

Private seaside couples hideaway

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hideaway nestled in the hill within easy walking distance of the ocean at Kaka Point. Private, secluded with lovely views, this cottage is a great retreat for a couple to enjoy time away. We highly recommend this “getaway”."

Cosy, comfortable cabin in the heart of The Catlins

8/10 Good

"Ray was an absolute legend of a host. Kind and thoughtful. The space has everything you need. Please read the full description as it does have a unique layout. Also note that there is no spa pool/jet tub as mentioned by some of the listing companies!"
