Tranquility, hotel in New Haven

The air-conditioned vacation home is composed of 1 separate bedroom, a fully equipped kitchen with a microwave and a fridge, and 1 bathroom. Towels and bed linen are provided in the vacation home.

The tiny house concept is interesting. The decor was charming (especially the William Morris print bedspread) and the kitchen well stocked. It was great to pick apples and pears to eat. The owners are truly committed to the environment.

Surat Bay Lodge by the Sea/Backpackers Hostel, hotel in New Haven

Located in the North Catlins, Surat Bay Lodge offers friendly private and dormitory rooms with free WiFi.

We had a 270 degree view of the bay from our corner room! Very friendly helpful owner. Very well equipped shared kitchen. Only a few rooms in the hotel so it was very quaint. Nice sitting area with a sun room. Clean bathrooms.

Owaka Lodge Motel, hotel in New Haven

Located in Owaka, Owaka Lodge Motel has a garden. The motel also has free WiFi and free private parking. At the motel, all rooms include a desk and a flat-screen TV.

Super comfy, warm and fully equipped room with plenty heating options, comfortable bed, very clean, and the host super nice. I accidentally mistaken and picked a wrong date, when I asked her if its ok to change it for the next day she agreed and asked me to cancel the original reservation. Unfortunately, i didn't understand that at the time and didn't cancel it. Only later as we arrived I came to realize that she lost that night as it was still booked on me. I felt horrible and offered to fully pay for that extra night. The kind hostess said she won't charge me for that, and believed me that it was an honest mistake. Later that evening she even dropped by to give us milk and muffins she have made! Lovely place, lovely hostess. Thank you!

First time staying in a tiny home, and I love it!! The place has everything you need and is really comfy (although it did get really cold at night!). The hosts were super kind and waited pretty late for me to arrive.

    We loved being so close to a beautiful bay reknowned for being a sea lion hangout. Great walk from Surat Bay to Cannibal Bay and saw lots of sea lions. We loved being able to hear the sea when we were lying in bed. The wifi was brilliant. Jane was an excellent host and left us a big range of breakfast foods and gave us fresh tomatoes from her garden. The cabin was really well equipped with kitchen equipment and was very homely . we didn’t need them but there were plenty of heaters for when it’s chilly, also electric blankets. We didn’t eat out but Jane gave us lots of recommendations.

    The accommodation is perfect, clean and very comfortable surrounded by a very lovely garden. Our host Jane is friendly, kind and caring. The situation of the accommodation is in a very tranquil area about 3/5 min walk to the bay and a long beach walk with lots of wildlife. I found it very easy to get to other parts of The Catlins along the coast from here.

    The setting is wonderful. The beach and sea lion Access really great. The accommodation is clean and comfortable- just needs a little modernisation which our lovely host says she will be starting on this winter

    Norm & Thelma were excellent hosts.

    Norm & Thelma were excellent hosts. Thelma provided cooked breakfasts & catered for my restricted diet & allergies. They are both talented artists. Their long time neighbour happened to be a relative of mine & we met up for lunch in Timberjacks, a very good Owaka Cafe. The sight seeing is remarkable in the Catlins, but you need a car, & be prepared to walk. Take care on the beaches and give the Sea Lions a wide berth. They can move at 25 to 30km/hr so you wont outrun them! If you come in winter the weather will be very cold.

    Location was brilliant and a fantastic base to cycle or walk around a beautiful coastal area. The accommodation was fine for a short stay but is a bit dated. The shower pressure is not very good and the heating is a single portable heater which would not be very effective if it was cold. Overall a reasonable base to explore an amazing part of the country but definitely not luxurious.

    New Haven was quiet and pretty with rustic holiday homes...

    New Haven was quiet and pretty with rustic holiday homes set between the sea and rich farmland. The Lumberjack cafe in Owaka was superb with a welcoming atmosphere and excellent food provided by a German chef. His wife was at front of house and so nice. During our meal, a guest at a neighbouring table came and spoke to us...he has lived in the area all his life and calls it 'his piece of paradise'. Nugget Point and Kaka Point which are not far away were the highlights of our trip. Beautiful beaches with rocks, driftwood and some pretty shells. The view from Nugget Point Lighthouse is breathtaking.
