Owner Esther is very helpful with good info where to see sea lion. The rooms are very well kept with sea view. The place is far away from the city and the cafe n supermarket is about 5mins drive from the motel so be prepare to buy some food for own cooking. The kitchen is well equipment with many kitchenware, cooking stove, microwave oven, fridge, etc. Just a 30 min drive is the Nugget Point a must go light house. Along the way is Kaka point can also stop by if time permit. Surat bay is really a beautiful place to go… one night is not enough… recommend at least to stay for two nights.

Always my favourite place to stay when we go to The Catlins. Beach is nearby, sunset view is awesome. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Will definitely come back again.

This place is mega cool. Such an awesome spot right on the estuary. We walked for 5 minutes to the ocean and saw leopard seals sleeping onshore. Communal facilities are clean an water pressure in shower is great.
