Great location, right on the beach with easy access into the surf! Only a short stay, but perfectly adequate facilities - and even managed to spot a few Hector’s dolphins cruising in the waves as we were checking out!

10/10 Exceptional

Great view of the beach from the accommodation and easy access to the beach for walks. Rooms are well lit so you can read at night easily with lots of power points to charge your appliances. As this place is in Curio Bay, it’s recommended to bring your own food as grocery shops and dining out options are scarce. Check in instructions were easy to follow. A relaxing stay with the bonus of location being beachfront with uninterrupted beach view.

Everything was perfect. It was the wow factor as soon as we walked into the apartment, the view, everything.

8/10 Very good

Good location. Staff was responsive in answering questions and providing instructions to enter the property. It can be cleaner though - we found some dirty socks below a chair for instance. There was a binder on the kitchen counter which stated that the guests must do the dishes or will be charged additional fees. Although I appreciate that it was clearly communicated, I do not necessarily agree and like the policy. First it should have been communicated on the booking site so that guests are aware prior to booking. Also I think that dishwashing should be part of the normal room service. I also wonder how seriously all guests take this responsibility and really clean. . . !?!

Worth every cent. My children swam with the little dolphins this morning. We will come again. As a well travelled kiwi, this is one of my favourite areas of New Zealand. But this was our first time staying at Curio Bay Salt House, and if we come again, we will check availability here first!!

The room had a really nice view, close to beach, spotless and well-kept. Everything felt fresh. Melissa was fantastic at communicating ahead of time, making sure everything was arranged smoothly. Would happily stay here again!

The executive apartment was very large, comfortable and immaculately clean. The deck had beautiful ocean views - we saw a fur seal and penguins right from our deck. It's within walking distance of the penguin viewing area and petrified forest. It is a perfect place to enjoy Curio Bay.
