Beautiful place ..very very clean ..quite relaxing beach walks sit in the garden soaking up the sun and fresh air having a drink just perfect

Location to beach. Friendly host.

A bit grubby in the corners of rooms. Creaky floors when trying to be quiet for other guests.

Friendly owner of the property and beautiful view from our room. Very clean

A family with kids kind of took over the kitchen and it was difficult to prepare a meal for us. Bathrooms were a little cramped but functional

A lovely place with a very nice ambiance !! We could see sea lions from the window of our room. Will come back there if I come back to NZ !!!

Just to said something, they should put the big bed on the other side of the room like this you can see the sea from the bed !!

very nice place. Location was perfect and sea lions on the beach were wonderful to watch. very friendly host. Recommend!

Great value for money and great location. very peaceful and the apartment was huge. loved watching the sea lions in the morning!

Great place next to the beach with lots of sea lions. Very spacious house and excellent facilities in the kitchen. Option to buy fresh eggs from the hens!

Amazing location right on the beach. An older building, but very clean and well maintained. Had all the facilities you need and comfy rooms. Friendly owners.

Nothing really

Old but clean. Great location.

Great place

Peaceful

the location is perfect as it’s right on the beach in Surat bay. check in was easy and staff was lovely. great value for money. the view from the room was breathtaking

the walls were thin and you could hear the neighbours slightest noise but not a problem as sound sleepers but bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. would still recommend

Great hospitality, sooo close to the Sea Lions, fresh eggs and good coffee 👍🏼

the location, the room with sea lion view and the friendly people

Staff were awesome, incredibly accomodating, have recommended this location to several people since my trip. We ended up here because we were supposed to be staying at Thomas Catlins Hostel, however the lady there was very rude and cancelled our booking made months in advance 10 days before our trip, she had forgotten we had a booking there when she accepted others. Our group for the most part was therefore left without accomodation shortnotice before a busy Easter weekend. Managed to get a booking at Surat and they were amazing, plus the location on the beach was stunning.

Lovely owners, great location right by the sea. Warm, peaceful place to stay

Location, friendly staff, knowledge of the area, restaurant recommendations. Great set up with lounge and kitchen. Parking outside property and it was accessible.

Very clean, lovely owners, beautiful view and great location

We stayed in a private double room with an amazing sea view which was cosy and warm. The entire place is spotlessly clean to a very high standard. The kitchen has all the amenities including coffee plunger. Ester (the host) was very hospitable and friendly. The area has so much to offer; beach walk, sea lions, cockle collecting and more. We would definitely return.
