Our studio, one of the cheapest one, was spacious with a fully equipped kitchen. The room was slightly old but clean and fully functional. The motel is well located at the gate to the Catlins. The only bother was the confort of the mattress.

our group of 12 stayed overnight here. Three -bedroomed units all adjoined at the back of a wide deck with views over looking Kaka Point. Great spot for a group BBQ. Wonderful service. BBQ was all ready for us to use. Very friendly hosts and all too willing to advise us on our stops as we progressed through the Catlins.

Other reviewers have said it all. This is not a five star establishment but it is clean, tidy and has all the essentials you need. Proprietors are helpful, friendly and the perfect hosts. A perfect based from which ot explore the northern end of the Catlins, or just to relax.

We spent five nights at these motels. The unit was comfortable with a good view of Nugget point. We were able to self cater fine. We received excellent advice on places to visit and can thoroughly recommend the twilight tour to Nugget Point to see the yellow eyed penguins, other wildlife and the lighthouse. The forest walks are excellent and... More

Stayed for 2 nights (wanted to stay for longer, but fully booked on our available days) in a spa bath studio unit in the Kaka Point motel. Both motel units seem to be managed from the same reception and are just separated by a road. The units are located in an elevated position giving good views (from our unit, and... More

The place is quite close to the sea, a steep walk up from the shore. We stayed in the older unit which was quite spacious, but aged. The beds were small (double), but the kitchen was really well stocked with utensils and appliances. Heater was near the door, not the ideal place. Toilet and shower were clean (like the rest... More

Kaka Point is probably my favourite town to stay in the Catlins, and Nugget View Motels is now my favourite place to stay. We stayed for one night in the cheaper rooms and it was fantastic value. Very spacious and comfortable...it had everything we wanted and more. There's a great view from the Motel also and I had a great... More

We stayed here for 2 nights. I booked via email about 3 months prior to arrival and I believed that I had booked us a studio-spa unit for $125 per night. However, on arrival it turned out that we simply got a studio unit without a spa for that price as someone other than the owners had done the bookings... More

Made an initial booking via email, then read a review on this website as to poor room quality and poor service, and rang up the owners to discuss our concerns as we didn't want to spend $150 on a room that was inferior. They were very dismissive about the poor review, were not willing to realise that as a consumer... More

We stayed at Kaka Point Motel for 1night for a weekend getaway in a spa unit. It was clean, tidy and modern. We enjoyed our short stay, the sunshine and great views. The walks in the area are great (lighthouse) The owners were helpful and friendly.
