Lucia and Don
A perfect 1-bedroom cottage with all the necessities in an idyllic location with friendly, but not intrusive, hosts. The beach steps away, the property’s beautiful landscaping, the sunrises, the views - all spectacular. What more can a visitor ask for? We had a wonderful, peaceful four nights in Jack’s Bay. Our only regret is that we failed to book a full week.
Response from Owner
So pleased that you thoroughly enjoyed your stay here at Jacks Bay Retreat enjoying the very handy location and garden surroundings experiencing all that this unique little bay has on offer and so much more. Each day is very special and yes guests always wish they could stay longer.

A luxurious stay in a crib set in the most beautiful surroundings Absolutely luxurious accommodation with lovely hosts and so much attention to every detail to make you feel comfortable and spoiled. We really loved the design of the crib, the lovely garden and the house. Big thanks to Helen and Peter for their warm hospitality in the Christmas period overseas. And for the wake up call in the early morning to see the sea lion on the beach. 😊We would love to come back.
Response from Owner
Thank you Guy & Muriel for your lovely comments. We are so pleased that what we have created here and share with others like yourselves was fully met. Yes, it is a unique location and one we love dearly and are very happy to expose and share with all of our guests, and visitors to Jacks Bay. Catlins Region is certainly a beautiful place to explore while basing yourselves here in Jacks Bay to achieve this, as you found out and allowing 4-5 days minimum to achieve this.

The problem about writing and letting people know how great this place is, that it may be booked when we want to go again. Lovely place with everything you could need in a fantastic location. Central to travel & see more of the Caitlins. Lovely home baking on arrival as a treat. Helen & Peter providing great information & being there if you needed anything. x2 amazing sunrises. Hoping to get back for another stay soon..
Response from Owner
