Kaka Point Luxury Spa Accommodation

10/10 Excellent
"Fantastic views. Super modern studio. Lovely welcome email from the manager. Just remember its self contained. There are no basics like salt and pepper, tin foil, or gladwrap or anything other than basic plates, knife,forks etc. No broom or anything to keep it tidy if your there more than a couple of days but im OCD about that sort of thing lol. Beautifully presented and high level of cleanliness. Take extra kitchen bags etc for your rubbish if your eating in. 2 ring cooker and very small airfryer. No salad bowls just very basic items provided. In saying this is not a negative as we adsalutly loved our 2 nights here. Just a heads up as the nearest supermarket is in Balclutha 20 minutes away if you need condiments for your meals!!!!! 5 star all the way!!!!"
