Catlins Mohua Park
The Catlins area is a natural retreat where wilderness and farmland coexist, where beech and podocarp can be found in the rainforest from hilltops to the coast, with abundant native bird life. The headlands and beaches of the varied coast are home to sub-antarctic wildlife such as yellow-eyed penguins, petrels, and sea lions. The Catlins is a place for those who love nature to stay a while and enjoy the freedom and exploration of the many outdoor attractions. Here you can enjoy the Catlins Forest, Catlins Coast, Cathedral Caves, Invercargill about 1.3 hours away, mountains, waterfalls, the most beautiful forest and New Zealand’s Bush country. The “Southern Scenic Route” of New Zealand winds through the Catlins from Nugget Point to Curio Bay and on to Invercargill.
