"Love the location as you are right by the beach. A little track takes you down to the sand. But you can also just sit outside and watch the waves roll in. u"

"We had a very good time in Papatowai. The Surfinn Eco Cottage is a good starting point for many activities around. We loved the room upstairs wit the nice view on the river side."

"Very friendly host and well maintained property "

"Ray was very friendly and welcoming. The room was comfortable and warm. Didn’t realise it was separate from the bathroom although that was in the description. No sign of a hot tub? Would be better in the summer to enjoy the deck."

"Great house with everything you need. Easy to walk around the area. Didn’t receive check in code so was lucky the neighbour contacted owner and we were able to access house. Very comfortable and would love to come and stay for a week next time. "

"Thank you for our wonderful stay, comfortable cottage with everything we needed. Gorgeous views, privacy, close enough to everywhere we wanted to go."

"Great property which six over 70 year olds thoroughly enjoyed as a base to explore the Catlins"
