Beautiful and nicely appointed B&B with very comfortable bed and nice views. It was spur of the moment decision to go down to the Catlins and we were not sure of where to go and what to see. Heather spent the time to put together a great itinerary that allowed us to see all the highlights of the Catlins. Highly... More

We stayed at Kenthurst Lodge in Kaka Point from 31.01. until 02.02.2013, for us probably the best B&B in the Catlins. - Every thing was so nice and perfect, the hospitality of Heater and John, our room, the bath- and living room, the beautiful garden, the quietness and the view down to the sea and it's beaches. - If ever...

If you are looking to stay in Kaka Point on your new Zealand trip, then you should stay at the Kenthurst Lodge. It is very good value for money. The bed and bathrooms look like new, they are even better in real life then on the pictures. They have been decorated with so much attention to detail. The breakfast that... More

Kenthurst Lodge would be a very good choice for those who want to watch the yellow eyed penguins and visit the Nugget Point. Heather gave us very useful and practical advice, and kindly lent us warm clothes. Without her help we couldn't have stayed in the cold hide long enough to watch the very rare penguin. The B&B itself was... More

I really wasn't sure what to expect of either Kaka Point or Kenthurst Lodge but both proved to be highlights of our 3 week stay in NZ! The room was lovely - so tastefully decorated and the bathroom very large and similalry well decorated and equipped. It was one one of very, very few places we've stayed in where every... More

We and our friends stayed at Kenthurst Lodge for 3 nights in September 2011 - a fabulous stay which will be long remembered. Heather and John were brilliant hosts and the location was superb for exploring the Catlins.

We stayed for two nights in this lovely B&B and couldn't have picked a better place to start our 4 week road trip through NZ. The room was great, with a comfy super kingsize bed and fluffy towes in the ensuite bathroom. The fresh flowers on the bedside table were lovely, as was the breakfast in the reading/living room next... More
