A very sweet hostess, who bless her, you would have thought would rather be retired than running around after her guests.
The rooms took me back to the 70's with their wood paneling and decor, but they in good condition and very clean,  She arrived with hot muffins on a lovely china plate wrapped in a beautiful serviette and china milk jug with an old fashioned bead weighted cover.
Even better, a very modern pub is just steps away!

Taken back in time

We stayed here in January with our toddler and the host could not be nicer. Greeted with muffins and a mini one for our daughter. Her cot made up beautifully  in the room (often find hotels forget this request)Motel is not modern but very clean and comfortable and in a good location for food if doing a road trip in the Catlins. Would recommend.

Lovely little motel with an even nicer host

Gaynor was an incredible host during our 3 night stay. Welcoming muffins helped get two Covid lockdown weary visitors off to the best possible start. Our unit was comfortable and had all we needed. Our Laundry was returned within an hour or so- great.

Owaka with many attractions including the easy to walk up Nugget Point lighthouse a short distance away, is a good staging post.

FABULOUS HOST WHO COULDN’T DO ENOUGH

A lovely place. All facilities, and it was very quiet even though it's close to the hotel. The home-cooked muffins were a treat, and so was the real coffee and a plunger to make it in. We'll certainly stay here next time we visit the Catlins.

What a nice motel

Room was clean and tidy.  Gaynor was delightful, helpful, and a great muffin cook!  Not much to see in town, but the hotel was right across the road from the museum, and was just a short drive to some pretty spectacular natural scenery.

Clean, tidy, lovely hostess

Owaka Lodge Motel was fantastic.  Gaynor was so friendly and helpful. We were treated to homemade apricot muffins in our rooms.  Rooms were very clean and very quiet.  Bed was very comfortable.  Will definitely recommend & stay here again.  Perfect spot to start Catlins experience.

Gaynor is great host!

This motel 10/10, the lovely lady made us so welcome. Homemade muffins delivered to us with milk in a jug with a nice cover over it.
I  am sure I have never been at a motel like this. A home away from home.
Today we are moving on to look around the Catlins.
Did stop at Kaka point and went into the pub, such a beautiful place, also made us so welcome. Met a couple from Napier on a trip very nice people also!

A beautiful Lovely Lady.

We loved Gaynors’ wee place - simple, but with everything you could need. Super clean and tidy, warm - perfect. Great linen/fluffy towels - Gaynor has lovely welcoming touches - fresh cut flowers and yummy muffins on arrival - very special, what a treat.

Great ambiance 

Tradional and unpretentious but with extras. A well-appointed kitchen; two comfortable armchairs as well as a small dining table and chairs; milk supplied in a lovely china jug with a lace doilie cover; and home-made apricot muffins wrapped in a linen napkin. Our very helpful hostess made bookings for us at a local restaurant.

A touch of NZ

Gaynor was very friendly and greeted us with homemade apricot muffins. The room, though clean, is in need of an update. The layout of the suite was quite odd. A king bed was squeezed into the bedroom with very little room to get around the corner. When getting up in the dark it was difficult not to walk into the open door. The kitchen is nice with newer appliances. We used the kitchen sink quite a bit as there was no place to put toiletries in the tiny bathroom. Owaka feels like a dying town. The main restaurant, the Lumberjack, was closed during our stay. In fact, none of the cafes were open for breakfast. We waited until reaching Balcluthe where we had a lovely brunch.
