About this property
Pounawea Peaceful Haven
Warm 3 bedroom house with large open plan living area nestled into the bush. 300m to water front and playground.
Nearby golf course, and horse trekking. Flounder and trout can be caught year round in the Ōwaka River. Great walk along Surat Bay to False Island and Cannibal Bay, with a chance of seeing sea lions along the way.
Ōwaka 5 minutes away by car, has a small supermarket open seven days until 7pm. There is a tourist information centre in the museum there too.
Pounawea is a great base for exploring the Catlins.
Special conditions:
LINEN
Bring your own bath towels, pillow cases and sheets, including king singles for bedroom 3 (double sheets work well); we supply tea towels, bath mat, blankets and duvets.
CHILDREN
No charge for children under 5. Half price 5 to 17 year olds. We need time to manage these discounts because this website is not set up for child rates. Enquire first, before you book, so we can apply the child rates. Use the "Contact Host" link on the website.
CLEANING
Under the Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to clean the house before you leave.
