Absolutely loved the place- right across from the beach and really nicely set out. Has everything you need to cook meals or there's a restaurant just down the road
Watch the waves roll onto the beach from your garden at this Kaka Point guest house. Free WiFi is also provided to show others the wonderful sea views from your accommodation.

Mike and Jenny had good communication from start to finish. When I arrived Jenny met me and was oh so welcoming and friendly, Mike had just got home from work so I met him briefly too. The space was great, amenities and view from the accommodation was lovely! Great location and close to the point restaurant where I had the seafood chowder.
Featuring garden views, Kaka Point Views Apartment 2 provides accommodation with a garden, around less than 1 km from Port Molyneux Beach.

The best room we had in 4 weeks of touring NZ. Spacious, well equipped, and a beautiful sunrise a few steps through a sliding glass door onto a good sized deck with a view of the waves crashing on the beach. We visited nugget point lighthouse and we could see its lighthouse flashing from inside our room.
Rosebank lodge is a great spot.
Rooms well appointed and fresh and clean.
Staff friendly and helpful
Restaurant had a good range of meals for most, just didn't cater for dairy free group member.
Would highly recommend

Lovely little town!
Lovely little town! Well worth spending a day or two to check out all the natural attractions. The beaches in particular were rugged and secluded but relatively accessible. Would love to see it in the summer time!!

Balclutha is hardly a much sought destination but it is in a prime location to base yourself as you visit the Catlins and the ample attractions on its door step. The river in particular is underrated and provides great fishing and kayaking. The town itself sports most of the shops you expect as well as a supermarket and some great eateries. The hi-light of my trip was definitely staying at the historic Fern & Thistle which is just out of town and is definitely the hidden gem of Clutha.

Gorgeous vistas in the rural area, reminiscent of Lord of the Rings scenes. The locals are friendly and this is a nice place to stop when travelling. Highlights are the Bridge, walks along the Clutha River, and the rural views. The Raj Indian restaurant was really delicious, and the best coffee and cheese rolls are at Rosebank Cafe, south end of town.
Lovely period house, it hardly seems to have changed from when it was built. Very welcoming hosts, only continental breakfast, but plenty of it and all very tasty. We used the hot tub in the evening, it was lovely sitting out under the stars. Just a short drive to Balclutha where we had a great Indian meal at the Raj. It was fascinating to read the history of the property and Benhar. Would love to go back and stay again sometime.
The Fern and Thistle is located on a lovely quiet road a couple minutes drive outside of Balclutha. It was the perfect location for us to explore the area and to visit Dunedin (approx 1 hr drive) on a rainy day. The garden and house are large and beautiful, the house itself, the room and bathroom are in sync with the character of the house. Bed was super comfortable and breakfast had enough choices to get us going in the morning.
The hotel was definitely above my expectations. Room and kitchen were perfect. The shower 🚿 was too low for my tall husband and there was no option to regulate the height. But it was nothing. The combination of value and quality definitely worth it.
Found this jewel at the last minute as we were driving into Balclutha. Separate rental on private property, very clean, comfortable and modern. The owner was lovely and accommodating. Highly recommend as an overnighter or for a couple of days.
The hotel is old, but I felt we got good value for what we paid. The bed was comfortable, the shower was hot, the meal in their restaurant was very good. The kitchen facility and lounge were useful and readily available.
We used the hotel for two nights and it was in general very good. We thought there may be nose from neighbours but all quietened down early. I found the bed a little hard but not a serious issue. The hosts were great.
The rooms were very well appointed, our hosts wonderfully attentive, and everything beautifully clean. Impressive attention to detail and great value for money - all within minutes of the charming Balclutha township.
Super clean, quiet and very comfortable motel close to the town of Balclutha and the countryside. Good place to start for Catlins trip. Lovely host too. Would definitely return to this motel thank you.
Brand new, super clean, fabulous breakfast provided, loved the quality linen and towels.
Best place to stay in Balclutha. Joss was amazing with welcome text and fresh towels each day👍🌸
