Private seaside couples hideaway
Very private small cabin nestled in a bush clad section, over looking the sea just 100 metres from a lovely sandy beach. The captivating Catlins Southern Scenic Route commences right on your doorstep. The perfect place to just chill whether it`s wet or fine with that special person or pet.
Very private and strictly for no more than two friends or a couple plus that special pet.
You will have access to everything available except storage shed. Its a stand alone Bach on large bush clad section.

The best bach we have stayed in. Spotlessly clean, stylishly furnished and comfortable, and well equipped with appliances that are easy to use. Stunning location in a pretty and private garden, less than 5 minutes walk to the beach. We enjoyed watching Netflix in the evening. Excellent communication with the host. Can't wait to return! Thank you also for allowing our dog to stay.
Good place to have a break, 2 min walk to beach & it was nice to be able to bring the dog. Would highly recommend.

Loved that they were dog friendly..we try hard to make the stay with awesome review as it's hard to plan a south island trip with a dog. We loved it and appreciate that Shep could stay..
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.
The bach had all the mod cons and clean, is prefectly positioned to explore the Catlins or just to chill out. We will happily return for another week once summer is out of the way.
Great little studio with a deck out front with view over the beach and big covered outdoor area at the back. Has everything you need. BBQ out back for dinner. 2 min walk to the beach. Have stayed a couple of times and will definitely be back as we love that we can bring our dog too. Would highly recommend
Just two nights in this really comfy cottage was not long enough. The place had everything we needed, compact but did not feel cramped. Lovely outside seating with just the sound of the ocean and the birds. We loved having our beloved dog with us too.
Thank you Paul.
Exactly what we needed. Stayed two nights. Took dog with us. Property presented very clean and warm, comfy bed and a great location. A park across the road and a 2min stroll to the beach. A great base for us to explore the area.
Will definitley be back, thank you for having us.

What a fabulous house. Every little detail so well thought out.
Gorgeous view of the ocean in a very comfortable, relaxing home.
The perfect getaway for a chill mini break.
Escape the busyness and relax.
Will definitely book again.
A lovely little space with everything you need. So grateful we were able to bring our fur baby too, thank you!
Neighbours were closer than expected and noisy with powertools etc so that took away from some of the quiet hideaway aspect, but otherwise great, thank you.
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.
I stayed here 6 weeks and thoroughly enjoyed it. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking all your meals. The queen size bed is very comfortable and cozy nestled just behind a loveseat sofa in front of the TV. There is a spacious patio/deck area with comfortable furniture, and Webber gas bbq, well suited for entertaining. I enjoyed the view and walking distance to the beach and village area. The local pub has good food and staffed with friendly folks. There is grocery shopping within 20 minute drive to Balclutha. Paul is a great host who was very attentive when the WiFi internet speed dropped to almost nothing. He had it fixed the next day. If you want a fun, peaceful stay at the ocean, this is the place!
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.
Great cozy little space. My brother and I spent a couple of very relaxing 2 days there. Everything was very well organized and super clean. Would definitely recommend
Nice quiet, cosy spot, with nice views and surrounding bush while being close to the beach and township. Very well appointed, clean, tidy and warm. Paul was very helpful when we needed to extend by a few days at short notice.
Very cosy and welcoming with great sea views. Fantastic outside space with covered decking area & BBQ. Unfortunately, the weather was against us so not able to use it.
