Curio Bay Seaside Accomodation
About
Curio Bay Seaside Accomodation, on South Island, sits at 521a Waikawa-Curio Bay Road, Curio Bay 9884, New Zealand, a chalet-style stay in a small coastal settlement on the island's southern edge.
First-time visitors should expect a quiet seaside base rather than a serviced hotel, with the chalet set close to the water in Curio Bay itself. Guests have rated it 4.8 out of 5 across 30 reviews, placing it among the better-regarded stays on this stretch of coast. The location puts it within reach of Dunedin, Te Anau and Queenstown, while Christchurch, Nelson, Blenheim, Wanaka and Kaikoura sit further afield across the island.
Opening hours are not published on the venue's own site at http://www.curiobay.co.nz/, so arrivals are best arranged in advance. Photographs of the chalet and its surroundings are not shown in the listing.
Seasons here run opposite to the northern hemisphere, so December to February brings the warmest weather and the busiest travel period. Native birds such as tūī and kererū are common, and dolphins, fur seals and seabirds are often seen around the coast. Small earthquakes are a regular feature, as the country lies on the boundary of the Pacific and Australian plates.
