Private Bush Shrouded Seaside Hideaway

A great Couple's getaway. Hand in hand take a thirty minute walk along the sandy beach to The Point Cafe Bar and Restaurant including shop, enjoy a drink with the friendly locals and a must is the freshest Blue Cod and Chips from the Takeaway.
Feel like a short drive it’s worthwhile to drive 15 minutes to Nugget Point Light House and view the awesome scenery, a whole different world including Seal and Penguin Colonies.
With the Southern Scenic Route at your door step take a day trip through the Catlins area and experience the Wow factors of this unique area.
For those that just want to chill, on a cold wet windy day crank up the gas open fire, listen to the rain on the tin roof, roar of the sea, snuggle up on the sofa and watch a romantic movie or read that special book. Equally on the sunny day open up the French doors, listen to Birds and chill on the front deck with your poison of choice or better still rip off all those clothes and rest out on the very private back deck and soak up some Vitamin D and get a little bit of colour on those cheeks

Smoking is allowed but outside only.
Pets allowed with prior arrangement and would be suitable for maximum of 2 small to medium size Dogs.
On site Kennel available for larger dogs.

Our Hideaway Holiday

Although it was just one room the layout was so well thought out through that there was plenty of space available. It was well appointed and comfortable and spotless when we arrived. The location was first class in respect of access to facilities in Kaka Point and points of interest.

Outstanding Property in Outstanding Location

This property is obviously a labour of love for the owners and is absolutely outstanding in all aspects. Really well set up, spotlessly clean on our arrival, and had everything we needed. Really nice and cosy, with amazing views of Kaka Point and the beach, great decks and out door areas. Really beautiful spot, great for walks on the beach, a truly awesome part of our country. Hosts were great to deal with, and check in process was easy. Very highly recommended.

A magical little place - so private and comfortable, and with lovely views over the bay. Everything is so well organised, with many careful touches. Fierce storm while we were there, but we were still happy. Thank you

The good and the bad

The good: nice couples get-away, as listed. Quality furnishings. Great view and location.The bad: you don't find out until close to check-in that you should bring your own drinking water and not flush the toilet too much. We lost power both mornings that we were there, one hour the first day and we left the second day after 2 1/2 hours without electricity. That means no water pump so no running water, the alarm will start beeping over and over again, no internet, no heat. Be aware, the water that is available when the pump is working has an off-putting odor. There was no hairdryer available as listed. It is a studio with beds in the living room.

Cruising through the Catlins

A very neat, clean, warm, small holiday house. Fully equipped kitchen and bathroom except for an oven. Has a dishwasher and a clothes washer which was appreciated. Plenty of outside space which is beautifully sheltered from the coastal wind by mature bushes. A bit mystified to find 2 single beds along with the queen bed as the crib is advertised as being suitable just for a couple. If the beds were taken out there would be more space for suitcases, etc.

Hidden Gem

As you pull up the crib is hidden from view by well tended mature plants and what a delight you’ll get as you emerge from the path. The well maintained, comfortable and well laid out accomodation surpasses expectations, we loved our 2 night stay. The outside areas were also better than expected and we enjoyed both meals and relaxation in the spaces, which also enjoyed awesome views of the sweeping beach to Kaka Point village, a lovely 15minute walk away along the beach. A lovely 10minute drive along the coast, in the opposite direction, brings you to the spectacular Nugget point.We highly recommend this crib to others.
