Great location as near the beautiful big beach. Saw a sea lion basking in the sun. Cabin was well equipped, though a shelf in the bathroom for our toilet bag would have been useful.

Very pleasant one night stay

A short drive from Owaka - itself a pleasant enough village/town that's worth a stop for a coffee - this is well serviced accomodation in a beautiful location. The cabins are well equipped with linen, TV, a toaster and a kettle (although bring your own towels), and there are also some shared facilities for cooking. But the real reason to stay is the walk along the beach, which is accessible from the site, when the tide is low. We only stayed for a night, but this would also make a great hub for exploring other parts of the Caitlins. (I also appreciated the use of coins to limit people's shower uses.)

Laid Back spot right on the coast

We stayed in cabin #3, which was roomy and comfortable for 2 of us. (There’s a 2nd bedroom with bunk beds, which we just used for storage of the too much stuff we were hauling around.). Location is outstanding for walking along the beach and seeing sea lions. Dining options in the nearby town of Owaka are pretty limited, but the Whistling Frog in Chaslands about 46 km west is pretty good if you are going that way.
