"Truly delightful, comfortable, welcoming.
Stayed in well-appointed Kahu Eco-cottage, very impressed with standard of accommodation and fantastic views. Would certainly stay again, longer next time. TOM CHAPMAN - 09 Jan 2012."

Experience The Catlins at your own pace and in a comfortable, safe and eco-friendly cottage, fully equipped with all you need. There are 4 individual private cottages located on the edge of our 8 hectare native forest covenant.

In keeping with our respect and love of nature, our cottages are named for native birds, Riroriro (Grey warbler); Korimako (Bellbird); Kahu (Hawk); Karearea (Falcon)

The Catlins area in southern New Zealand is a natural retreat where wilderness and farmland coexist, where beech and podocarp rainforest with abundant native birdlife still extends from hill tops to the coast. The headlands and beaches of the varied coast are home to sub-antarctic wildlife such as yellow-eyed penguins, petrels and sealions. The Catlins is a place for those who love nature to stay a while and enjoy the freedom of the many outdoor opportunities for exploration. For more detail see the travel map below

We cater for the varied tastes of visitors to The Catlins. You can choose cosy self-catering cottage accommodation with advice from us on how to discover the area; or come on our friendly fully catered walks or ecotours with us to explore, see the wildlife and learn about natural and human history.
