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.

This is a quaint roomy accommodation run by Gaynor who lives on the premises. She greeted us with home cooked muffins which was a lovely touch and also delicious. The motel is not modern but it is clean and has everything you need. The bathroom has been updated and the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you would have in your own kitchen. Had the best night's sleep in our 2 weeks travelling the South island. The Speights hotel is just a 2min walk away and the local museum is across the road. We also had parking right outside our unit.

    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 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.
