THE CATLINS

The Catlins’ natural beauty and seclusion are magnetic.

 
It's a place where yellow-eyed penguins, sea lions, fur seals and Hectors Dolphins can frequently be seen. This is pure New Zealand at it's most natural.
 
McLean Falls in the Catlins
 
The smell of the sea, the sounds of birdsong, exceptional scenic sights and local cuisine provide indescribable pleasures and lasting memories of a magical place.
 
The area’s many walking tracks provide access to some special scenic, historic and cultural significant sites.  Most walks will take you on a journey through podocarp forest and native bush to hidden lakes and spectacular waterfalls. The tracks’ abundant flora and fauna and the waterfalls will have you reaching for your camera - be sure to have it handy.
 
As well as the wildlife, stunning views and exposed location, the fossilised remains of an internationally significant example of a Jurassic fossil forest lies on the beach at Curio Bay.
 
Explore a little further and you will discover a fascinating coastal shipping past. Several lighthouses, established to prevent shipping mishaps, best illustrate the region’s early whaling history.
 

As you approach Southland be sure to collect a Catlins brochure for accommodation and activity information. Accommodation is limited so pre-booking is advised.
