3 Bedroom House in Curio Bay

Just a few kilometres from Slope Point, the southernmost point of the South Island, nestled in the Catlins lie the magical Curio and Porpoise Bays. A small detour from the Southern Scenic Route guides you to a slice of paradise. The area is rich with wildlife, scenic beauty and heritage. Points of interest include a Jurassic Petrified forest, bush walks, swimming, surfing, kayaking and endless Southern Ocean views. The Waikawa Museum highlights the whaling, logging and pioneering heritage of this fertile region. Hector’s Dolphin visit annually from October through to March (occasionally April). You will be able to watch them teach their young to surf the waves just in front of CLOUD9. Walk down the road to the Petrified Forest at the end of the day to watch the Yellow-eyed penguins return onto the rock shelf from a day of fishing to preen and make their way into the flax to feed their hidden hungry chicks.
Take the road less travelled, settle in with your family in one of the cosiest homes in one of the most beautiful locations on the planet. CLOUD9 is modest, inviting, secure and has fantastic views of the pristine coastline – a photographer’s dream. The beds and linen are luxurious and wonderfully comfortable. Your drinking water comes from the sky, there’s none tastier. It's impossible to communicate all of this magic with the written word. Your memories will be priceless.
Invercargill (the gateway to Stewart Island) and Bluff are one hour further West, down the track. Invercargill offers a little of everything anyone could ever want. Dunedin lies three hours to the North. It is a thriving City with the world class University of Otago and a rich cultural heritage. Queenstown is also about three hours away, a bustling resort destination loved by many. The Southern part of the South Island will become an everlasting memory but nothing will surpass your time at CLOUD9.

Summary: Perfect for 2 couples. View was wonderful. Dolphins and penguins. Met one of the owners as he was working in the vegetable garden, he was very friendly and had lots of penguin information. Thank you for a great stay!

Summary: We loved our stay at Cloud 9… stunning views and a comfy and cosy cottage. The log fire was very much appreciated - and even though it was January - It was really cold so we lit the fire! It was toasty warm and made it lovely inside watching the howling wind and large waves crashing on the rocks. Would definitely stay again! Even saw a penguine!

Summary: As other reviews mentioned nearly 10 years ago, this house is in desperate need of a major renovation. Ten years later, the condition is even worse, and the high price is completely unjustified. Upon arrival, I found a shard of glass in the kitchen (not from us), the shed reeked of must, and the carpets—especially in the bathroom—were filthy. Everything in the house is worn out and neglected.The stay felt incredibly impersonal, with almost no useful information provided by the so-called 'manager.'The only redeeming feature is the view, and if you're lucky, you might see penguins and dolphins. But that’s about it—and it's certainly not worth the outrageous price they’re asking.

Summary: Our 3rd visit to the Catlins, but our first to ‘Clould 9’ and Curio Bay. What a wonderful view on our first night in the wind and rain - power cut and all - but even better the next morning in the sun. A lovely tidy rib in a fantastic position with a lovely cosy comfortable bed. We saw a couple of dolphins out in the bay, surfers and lots of birds but sadly no penguins. We shall definitely return if (when) we return to New Zealand. Jackie and John Cornell, (Surrey, UK)
