Beautiful setting: far reaching views, wonderful privacy, great washer/dryer facilities. A flock of Silvereyes to entertain us just outside the window. Plenty of wood for the wood stove.
Ideal for nature lovers looking for a self-sufficient getaway, lodges are fully furnished and have kitchen facilities. Usually made of wood and surrounded by forests or mountains, lodges can be part of a group or a single unit. More remote than vacation homes, lodges are popular for safari trips.
A perfect choice for my family. Clean, comfortable and all the facilities we needed for a short stay in the area.
Parking was available at the front door to our room. Our host Gaynor, well her delicious welcome muffins held over the kids until I could prepare dinner in the fully equiped kitchen. Spacious and warm rooms, and the beds.... so comfortable it was hard to get out of bed in the morning. Supermarket is located around the corner, and exceptional coffee is near there too (look for a little wooden house with a "coffee' sign).
This place is spotlessly clean, homely and the staff are amazingly helpful and don’t mind spending time answering questions about what to do in the surrounding area. It has good facilities, washing and drying machines, communal kitchen and nice dining area. The Lodge used to be hospital so lots of rooms and wooden floor corridors. Quiet location with hens wandering outside. You can buy their eggs - I love this place as have been before. It’s peaceful and friendly clean and tidy and you feel the owner goes the extra mile with a smile.
Very friendly staff with useful tips over the area and not only! The lodge, having been a hospital before, is quite big and has great lounge areas with some vintage pieces that definitely add to it. The kitchen was also spacious and fully equipped. Overall a very special place!
Owaka Lodge Motel really went the extra mile, allowing us early check in, providing us with freshly baked muffins, and clear communication at all times. Spacious units, clean and comfortable. Highly recommend!
This lodge has its own beautiful character! Super value for money and the location is the best! It is near to everything in Catlins! We loved the super fresh and clean bed linens and free coffee! The owner is friendly too!
Owaka Lodge Motel is particularly lovely and has a lot of charm kept going by the owner. It is beautifully equipped and the little extras like a homemade fruit cookie were lovely.
Owaka Lodge Motel is exceptional, providing a most quiet and comfortable stay. Everything needed, and more is provided. Parking is outside your door and the WiFi is excellent. There is a socket by the bed for your phone. The lovely host even provided a homemade fruit cookie which was great. I thoroughly recommend this accommodation.
We had a great, comfortable and peaceful stay in Owaka Lodge Motel. Our unit was spacious and well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Our hosts were very accommodating and helpful, we were so appreciative of them leaving us homemade muffins and fresh milk after a long day of exploring all the fantastic sites in Owaka. We highly recommend this place!
We loved our stay at Owaka Lodge. Owner Gaynor is a wonderful host and makes a lovely muffin. Even though there is just two of us we like room to spread out when staying more than one night so we chose the family unit which was very spacious with a comfortable bed.
