​About us
​
​​On the southern coast of the Catlins right on the beach the Stratford family runs a small accommodation business.

Nick was born and bred locally on a sheep, beef & deer farm. After studying, working and travelling overseas he came back after 10 years to start farming at Curio Bay in 1999.
Farming is our main business and we farm 420 ha which run 2600 Coopdale sheep, 70 beef cows and 120 beef calves. Our five farm dogs do most of the work. 
Dani is a teacher from the Black Forest in Southern Germany. We have two teenagers, Noah (18) and Zoe (16).

In our free time we love out door activities like tramping, skiing/snowboarding, surfing and paddle boarding.

We really enjoy meeting people from all over the world and sharing this special part of New Zealand with them!

We are looking forward to seeing you here!

Bless' Ya

Nick, Dani, Noah & Zoe
