The coastal region in the South East between Kaka Point and Fortrose is called the Catlins. It is rich in waterfalls, bush walks, deserted beaches, native forest, Hector’s dolphins, Yellow-eyed penguins, seals and sea lions. Remote and sparsely populated it is quiet, sleepy, gentle and welcoming to those who want peace and nature.
