Host review score

Relax and put your feet up, unwind at our retreat in the serenity of the Catlins. Our historic villa is in the heart of Owaka, cafes and shops are 2 minutes walk away and it's only a short drive to beaches, bush walks, waterfalls and the many attractions the Catlins has to offer. Each spacious villa guest room has a queen and single bed, a private en-suite bathroom, and a fridge, table and chairs and tea and coffee. A delicious continental breakfast is available as an optional extra. This historic building was built by the community to attract a doctor to the area about 100 years ago. The result is a beautiful character villa in central Owaka. Guests will stay in the 2 grandest rooms at the front of the house. There is plenty of free parking on the street just outside.

Owaka is a small rural town with a warm welcome and everything you need. Situated on the Southern Scenic Route it is the perfect place to explore the Catlins, between Invercargill and Balclutha. There is a 4 Square shop, garage, pub, cafe's, second hand book shop, gift shops, health shop, museum and information centre, all within a short walk of the Catlins Retreat. The Catlins is famous for stunning scenery and wildlife. The beach at Pounawea is only a 5 minute drive where you can find a river/estuary area suitable for boating/fishing and water sports, and the local golf course. The more rugged Surat bay is only 3 km further, where you can go horse riding, see sea lions and walk around to Cannibal Bay. Within a 30 minute drive of Owaka is a wide range of bush walks, beach walks, waterfalls and wildlife.
