What people say

"Because of their location at the south of the South Island the Catlins are often skipped by travellers in order to save time. But they are so worth it. The region is NZ's hidden gem and off the beaten track as it's quite remote with the rugged and wild landscape. Explore waterfalls, beautiful beaches, lighthouses and wildlife like the rare Hector Dolphins or the yellow-eyed penguins."
"This rugged, remote coastline is home to some of the most beautiful cliffs, forests, and waterfalls in the country. Keep an eye out for some incredible wildlife, including fur seals, sea lions, and penguins. "
