What an amazing little out of the way spot this is. We stayed in the Lighthouse apartment on the upper deck which had fantastic views of the coast and could see the sea from our bed! Fantastic hosts, amazing wild life right on your doorstep and perfect privacy. We took our own food and cooked for ourselves and had a... More

Had a great stay at the Nugget lodge. Willie and his wife were great hosts. I stayed in the Sea Lion which was very spacious and has a yard that looks out on the beautiful coast. The location and view cannot be beaten. It is directly on the coast. You cannot get closer. The best location in Kaka point. The... More

Nugget lodge has 2 self contained units; we were in Lighthouse on the upper deck which has a king bed, open plan living and the most wonderful views across the bay. Breakfast is provided on a tray which is a basic continental breakfast. If you want eggs and bacon, you'll need to shop well in advance of arriving in this... More

We stayed in the Sea Lion appartment and it was very comfortable & cozy with a spacious living area (living room, dining room, kitchen, TV & even DVDs), a big bedroom and a bathroom. Free Wi fi too. The appartment has a small yard with an outdoor table and can have direct access to the beach. The other appartment on... More

Sensational view, beautiful self contained accommodation, way more than a simple b&b. Well equipped, spacious & facilities to cook for yourself if you want. While we had originally planned to eat out we couldn't tear ourselves away so made do with pasta & luckily a bottle of great NZ pinot. Yes, the bottom unit does not have the unrivalled view... More

We rented the lighthouse unit for 3 nights. It was magical. The views were wonderful, and we didn't want to move. We had our own private beach, with our own sea lion! Rock pooling, collecting shells, just chilling out. The Catlins is the perfect place to see wildlife - dolphins, penguins, seals etc. We loved it & can't wait to... More

Highly recommended. Friendly and helpful hosts, a lovely people-free area and stunning views. Any closer to the sea and you'd need windscreen wipers for storms. We had a wonderful stay and would happily return.

Lovely views from the garden of Sealion Unit to an empty beach (if you're lucky it may not be entirely empty - sealions visit here to lie on the beach). Peaceful, simple but clean unit with everything you need including binoculars and even games for rainy days as well as heaps of local info. One of the most comofrtable matresses... More

The Nugget Lodge is absolutely breathtaking! Situated by itself on a small point with beautiful empty beaches stretching in both directions, we felt as if we were the only people for miles. We were lulled to sleep by the sound of the waves below and enjoyed our breakfast on a small private lawn. The accommodations are simple, but clean, cozy,... More
