Molyneux House

Warm and inviting with a fabulous view. Thoughtful touches throughout that made our stay above and beyond comfortable!

Our first B&B experience other than AirBnB. The hosts were very welcoming and provided a quick rundown on the apartment and some local info. Room was self contained, great layout and modern decor and remarkably private. We ventured to the local pub and restaurant and joined the locals for a trivia night. The sunrise was spectacular from our room. 10 out of 10

Joan & John are great host. The location is exceptional, with many attractions just a short drive away. Super cozy and just infront of the ocean. Couldn't recommend it enough!

I liked everything the property has to offer Great host and hostess

loved it all ... beautifull kept property in a stunning setting, our room was spotless & lacked for nothing and the little touches to detail were lovely We stayed two nights and were very spoilt with a delicious breakfast each morning and the sea view right in front of you, if we come back to the Catlins, Molyneux House is where we would stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property is beautifully presented, the view is exceptional and Joan & John were hospitable but also respected our privacy. We also enjoyed the provided breakfast each morning.

We should have stayed longer!! But plan to return.

The breakfast choices supplied were superb. We were spoiled with fresh fruit salad, fruit juice, yogurt, 3 different cereals, toast, home made jams, and a couple if eggs to cook any way we wanted. The table was already laid for us - it was a real work of art. Oh, and you can’t downplay the importance of the wonderful view of the sea and its ever changing moods.

Die Gastgeber waren sehr nett

Wonderful location for using as a base to explore the Catlins. This is a very special place - beautifully decorated, amazing view across the sea, everything you could possibly need to have a marvellous break. Joan and John are excellent hosts, friendly yet unobtrusive, warm and helpful. An excellent and very generous breakfast, private deck and entrance, comfortable bed , spacious lounge. Perfect in every way!

Nothing. It is perfect.

Fantastische Lage mit Blick auf das Meer. Sehr nette Gastgeber, super Frühstück, schönes Zimmer. Rundum gut.

We loved our stay here at Joan and John’s home. They are such a lovely couple and Joan has created a beautiful B&B space which couldn’t have been better. Lots of thoughtful touches, a stunning view straight out to the sea across Joan’s lovely garden and an absolutely perfect setting for breakfast. Plus amazing sunrises you can watch from your bed. And the Catlins are amazing!!!

Beautifull view of the pounding surf. Private entrance from the street. Great hosts who supplied home made apricot jam and Christmas cake.

A very friendly welcome and advice regarding the local area

Tolle Lage , tolle Wohnung , nette Vermieter

continental breakfast very good good location with beautiful view. room very clean and look beautiful

it all good

Un des plus beaux logements de notre séjour en NZ. Son emplacement est idéalement situé devant la plage et très calme. L’appartement fait partie d’une grande maison mais indépendant. Il est parfaitement équipé avec une petite cuisine où rien ne manque, un salon et une chambre avec vue sur la mer. Tout est luxe et très confortable. Nos hôtes, Joan et John, sont charmants et nous ont laissé en toute confiance les clés de leur appartement en leur absence. On recommande même si le prix est un peu élevé.

Location was beautiful and Joan and John were very helpful and friendly and the stay here met and exceeded all our expectations

Joan and John were wonderful hosts

Very good breakfast, with beautiful brown eggs supplied in their own little nest, and all the other little touches that made a great cumulative experience. I particularly liked the generous supply of basics in big jars, not fiddly little paper tubes. Everything was of good quality. And the uninterrupted view of the sea was very special. It didn’t hurt that we lucked out on the weather.

Warm and welcoming. Good facilities. Beautiful view

Perfect location to explore the north Caitlins. Great friendly hosts, and amazing accommodation. Spacious, clean and comfortable with amazing view.

There was nothing negative about Molyneux house 😊

Excellent stay, beautiful home, amazing location

This is a wonderful studio apartment with a fantastic view of the ocean. It has a wonderful porch in front to enjoy coffee or a glass of wine, enjoying the view. There is breakfast (a great one) left in the fridge to prepare each morning. The place is sparkling clean and beautifully set up. And the hosts are lovely, welcoming couple. I highly recommend it.

The suite was very comfortable and had a beautiful view of the ocean. A cook your own breakfast was provided each morning. On the counter were eggs and bread. In the fridge there was fruit, juice, yogurt, butter, milk, etc. The hosts were very gracious and helpful. The restaurant was only a few minutes drive away. Nugget Point Lighthouse was a short drive from the town. The beach was in walking distance. We enjoyed our stay there very much.

We have no complaints.

Facilities were so good...best of our trip! Hosts were the friendliest people you could meet.

Nothing. Recommend it to anyone.

Relaxing quite great veiw

Amazing! Beautiful apartment next to the ocean. Cosy, comfortable, one of the those places that instantly makes one feel at home. Breakfast is included. There is a separate entrance to the apartment through the patio. Patio and living room are both facing the ocean, meaning beautiful view is guaranteed :) This place looks and feels even better than in the photos. I can sincerely recommend Molyneux House and I would definitely love to stay there again for at a few days.

Fabulous hosts and location! So friendly and helpful. Our stay was perfect.

Nothing!

Lovely accommodation in a fabulous location. The Catlins was a real treasure of an area. Beautiful forests and wonderful coastal scenery! Just be prepared to drive several kilometers on gravel roads to beaches that are completely untouched and unspoiled. Completely worth it!!

Lovely hosts, great locations and beautiful place with beautiful decorations

Fantastic place, a lovely setting with amazing sea views. The place was like a private suite with everything you could need plus some. Fabulously comfortable bed. A great range of breakfast options The hosts were very helpful in telling us about things to do, see and dining choices around the area - they even did a booking for us Thank you so much Joan & John 😊

The view is fantastic. The ocean is just out the sliding door and across the road. The road is not heavily traveled, so there is no excessive noise. The bed was probably the best one we have had since coming to New Zealand. I also appreciate that the host told us about several things to do in the local area and set us up for a lot of good excursions.

Breakfast and location great👍

Would have preferred an option of being unserviced. Value being left alone and felt a bit intrusive at times.

Sea front location, very comfortable, friendly hosts

Great location, fantastic view, very clean and comfortable. The hosts are very nice. Couldn't ask for anything better.

Needed to stay longer to fully enjoy.

The best accommodation we have ever stayed in NZ! Absolutely beautiful place with spectacular view as well as very nice host. Strongly recommend this place to everyone who is after comfort, cleanliness and beauty at the same time.

Great location and hosts

Nothing everything was 👍

Really lovely self-contained suite with great ensuite and kitchenette. Comfy bed, and couch with a great view of the sea. Lots of information available about the area. Hosts were really lovely and very helpful with recommendatioins of what to see. Table setting and breakfast were top notch.

I can't think of anything we didn't like about our stay.

The clean, modern but luxe furnishings - and that view! Spectacular!

Nothing. Everything was brilliant.

Molyneux House is an absolutely amazing place to stay. Joan and John are wonderful hosts. It is a magical location with amazing sunrises. . On arrival there was an instant feeling of calmness with acoustic guitar music playing in the cosy tastefully decorated suite. Immaculately clean and comfortable bed with quality linen.

The view was amazing, breakfast was great to have all ready to go
