Lovely little town!
Lovely little town! Well worth spending a day or two to check out all the natural attractions. The beaches in particular were rugged and secluded but relatively accessible. Would love to see it in the summer time!!

Balclutha is hardly a much sought destination but it is in a prime location to base yourself as you visit the Catlins and the ample attractions on its door step. The river in particular is underrated and provides great fishing and kayaking. The town itself sports most of the shops you expect as well as a supermarket and some great eateries. The hi-light of my trip was definitely staying at the historic Fern & Thistle which is just out of town and is definitely the hidden gem of Clutha.

Gorgeous vistas in the rural area, reminiscent of Lord of the Rings scenes. The locals are friendly and this is a nice place to stop when travelling. Highlights are the Bridge, walks along the Clutha River, and the rural views. The Raj Indian restaurant was really delicious, and the best coffee and cheese rolls are at Rosebank Cafe, south end of town.
Lovely period house, it hardly seems to have changed from when it was built. Very welcoming hosts, only continental breakfast, but plenty of it and all very tasty. We used the hot tub in the evening, it was lovely sitting out under the stars. Just a short drive to Balclutha where we had a great Indian meal at the Raj. It was fascinating to read the history of the property and Benhar. Would love to go back and stay again sometime.
The Fern and Thistle is located on a lovely quiet road a couple minutes drive outside of Balclutha. It was the perfect location for us to explore the area and to visit Dunedin (approx 1 hr drive) on a rainy day. The garden and house are large and beautiful, the house itself, the room and bathroom are in sync with the character of the house. Bed was super comfortable and breakfast had enough choices to get us going in the morning.
This is not a fancy hotel or motel. You get what you pay for. But the apartment amenities were fine - two bedrooms, comfortable bathroom and lounge. You are far enough away from the gaming room and bar downstairs that you don't hear any noise. Ok so the floor creaks as you cross it - but it is an old building. Far more character and more interesting than a cardboard cut out motel room. Nice staff.
Was an amazing stay. We had a room change and instead of just putting us in a similar room they took thought and care to upgrade us into anointing rooms, and explained the change.
Easy check in and out, incredibly clean, with everything one would need for there stay in Balclutha! We stayed in 5 different accommodation on our trip and the highway motel was my favourite!
Cant tell you how much we loved our stay here. Owners were so friendly, welcoming and helpful. Facilities were superb, we had stayed at some rather uncomfortable places on our trip and were in heaven!
Balclutha does not really have a lot of sights to see but was well located at the end of our Catlins tour.
Super clean, quiet and very comfortable motel close to the town of Balclutha and the countryside. Good place to start for Catlins trip. Lovely host too. Would definitely return to this motel thank you.
located on the main road through Balclutha the room did get some road noise. They were able to accommodate me on the ground floor when I asked. Had Sky to watch the rugby and league.
Such a cool place. As a rep im in a lot of motels/hotels. Very cool change. Awesome host, comfortable bed, big TV, huge room , free choclates on arrival and 2 dogs to play with.
