### Surat Bay Lodge, Motel and Backpackers

8/10 Good

"The stay was right on the bay, and the host was incredibly friendly and always checking in with guests to ensure they had everything they needed to feel right at home. She was very bubbly and funny! The only issue we had was that the shower was freezing after only a few minutes, and no matter whether I turned it off for a while it didn’t get warm again. There were also a lot of rules written around the building stating charges if guests didn’t abide, so I did feel a little on edge about possibly being charged for accidentally doing anything. Some felt unnecessary and as though I was at school, but I understand that there have likely been events in the past to feel the need to enforce those things. This is a really beautiful stay in the Catlins, and we saw sea lions on the beach!"

### Curio Bay Salt House Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Great view of the beach from the accommodation and easy access to the beach for walks. Rooms are well lit so you can read at night easily with lots of power points to charge your appliances. As this place is in Curio Bay, it’s recommended to bring your own food as grocery shops and dining out options are scarce. Check in instructions were easy to follow. A relaxing stay with the bonus of location being beachfront with uninterrupted beach view."

### 3-Bedroom Family Cottage with Stunning Rural Views in The Catlins

8/10 Good

"The host was great, and there was somebody across the road to help us with our needs. There are chickens out the back and we arrived to find fresh eggs and milk in the fridge. Both bathrooms have heaters and heated towel rails and plenty of space. The cottage is charming and there is a very large deck off to one side with a bar table and chairs. Wifi worked well. Kitchen is well equipped. House is at the end of a small village - so you feel like you are on a farm but in reality you are only a couple of blocks from everything. There is a 4 Square supermarket in the village. We received keys for the front and rear doors. Very charming and you would be happy here. Note, no tv, but wifi is good enough to stream through your device."

### Cosy, comfortable cabin in the heart of The Catlins

8/10 Good

"The property was just lovely. Yard and gardens were immaculate and Ray was very nice and pleasant to deal with. It was fine for one nice, but very dated and rather inconvenient to have the bedroom, fridge and "kitchen" & bathroom in 3 separate rooms-you had to go outside to go between them. A moderate renovation & some updates would go a long way to making this spot extra special."

### Surfinn Eco Cottage - Papatowai Cottage

2/10 Terrible

"Booked for 5 nights, stayed 1 during the peak holiday season. A number of issues around cleaning following the last guests and a loud internal water pump next to one bedroom. Far from ideal. Property wasn’t as expected for the price."
