Tranquility, hotel in Papatowai

Tranquility is located in Owaka. The air-conditioned holiday home is composed of 1 separate bedroom, a fully equipped kitchen with a microwave and a fridge, and 1 bathroom.

A fine solution for an overnight stay, but when you say "tiny" that is exactly correct. But Tranquility was certainly tranquil and nicely located. Heating was a slight issue as we found it rather cold overnight whilst we do not like running heating systems unnecessarily when asleep.

Now we had been total there wasn't anything within 10 kilometers away. This was within walking distance around the corner petrol too.

    Remote and quiet location with good road access, beautiful...

    Remote and quiet location with good road access, beautiful views from the cottage, very comfortable, cozy and tastefully decorated. Everything is there for convenience, but you have to bring your own food, it was helpfully mentioned by ownwrs prior arrival. A lot of walks in the area, waterfalls etc. Books, board games, DVDs or just break from busy life - whatever taste.

    Davids deck and the view are amazing.

    Davids deck and the view are amazing. Bellbirds sining and peace and quiet. Loved Lost Gypsy caravan and coffee beside it. Great place for kids and the Adult section well worth entry fee. Cathedral caves and view from Florence hill exceptional. Lake Wilkie a treat. Papatowai has my vote for the best in the Catlins.
