Lovely stay with wonderful friendly hosts

This place is mega cool. Such an awesome spot right on the estuary. We walked for 5 minutes to the ocean and saw leopard seals sleeping onshore. Communal facilities are clean an water pressure in shower is great.

What a fabulous find. Extremely clean place, walking distace to the beach to find sealions basking in the sun, well equipped kitchen with comfy beds and a sunny lounge to relax in. A geat meeting place of interesting travellers, and the best hosts. Thankyou so much for your hospitality. 💝💖

I had the pleasure to visit the Catlins again this year so took the opportunity to stay agsin in Surat as well this accommodation. The owner very friendly & helpful. It’s a great wee spot & property has awesome views of the sea & bay area. Large grounds as well with outdoor seating. Definitely will stay another time.

Wonderful river view with peace

Amazing view, the best housekeeping, small but comfortable place

Great location! Right on the beach and many activities to do that were very close! Place itself was very nice with kitchen and sitting areas!

Absolutely lovely hosts, clean and right on the beach. Loved it !

Nice comfortable bed,room had amazing view of beach .lodge was very clean & tidy . Host very friendly .

Great site and lovely charming people, a great place to stay.

We had a pleasant three-day stay in November, with only about half the rooms occupied. The place is right on the water, with some wonderful outdoor seating to watch the tide come in and out. Day one a juvenile sea lion snoozed 30 meters from the picnic table! The place is a little worn, but comfortable and completely fair for the price. Water pressure good, wifi fine, communal kitchen has most things but a little small if the place is busy. (there are two stoves and two sinks though) Owners were wonderful, and very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. We saw a yellow eyed penguin thanks to their tip! There is a nice beach walk right off the property. We saw several sea lions every time we walked to the next cliff, about 40 minutes away. (Just past the Triplets) Town is a short drive, and has a great Four Square.

We enjoyed another lovely stay at Surat Bay Lodge with Esther & Jack, who warmly welcomed us and our children back. Our boys loved helping to feed the chickens again, trying their hands at fishing and eating some of what Dad had caught fresh off the on-site BBQ. And I got to see a big sea lion bull waddle all the way up the beach on one of my walks. Feels like a return to our own beach bach.

Nice location on beach front and really friendly host. The property is an older building and shared facilities were OK.

We had a lovely stay at Surat Lodge with our boys. The owners, Esther & Jack, were very welcoming and we loved sampling the delicious eggs from their very happy on-site chooks! The location literally could not have been closer to the beach and the view from our room was great. You could actually see sea lions from the window at times! The kitchen was well resourced and clean with a big dining table to eat at and there were free hot drinks, plus a caravan on-site for real coffee. The boys enjoyed being able to chill out at the end of the day and watch DVDs from reception in the comfortable shared lounge. We had mixed weather during our stay, but found plenty to keep us occupied and loved seeing the changing light and tides from the Lodge.

Friendly, clean, stunning location. Amazing value for money

The location is absolutely gorgeous with sea lions almost literally in your backyard. However, the walls were super thin with being RIGHT outside the kitchen and having neighbors who weren’t exactly sleeping. Pricey For what it was but they were out of dorm beds in the entire catlins for the night I booked

Nice place and very nice location. The french girl at the reception was so helpful. <3

Great location so close to the beach. In summer it must be fantastic. Due to my stay in winter it was a little bit cold. I took a second blanket from one of the beds in my dorm.

At the end of nowhere but an incredible place, so friendly and nice. Possibility to see the sea lions just by walking along the beach. Very calm and surrounded by nature.

Such a lovely, tidy and clean backpackers! And what an amazing view & sunset! The gentleman who checked us in was lovely. Very friendly and welcoming! Will be back!
