The Catlins is a hidden gem located in southeastern corner of the southern Island of New Zealand. It is an expansive area of raw, natural beauty, and is home to several waterfalls and ponds. The rugged countryside is the kind of place that inspires artists, and the sound of the gushing waterfalls are soothing to the senses. There is a stunning diversity in the terrain of the region as it has everything; from sweeping coastlines to rocky cliffs. The same diversity can be observed in the flora and fauna as well. Head out to The Catlins for a long hike, to picnic, or to simply enjoy its breathtaking beauty.
