| Dunedin, Coastal Otago, SouthlandBudget Motorhomes | Kiwi Holiday Parks | South Island | Dunedin, Coastal Otago, Southland Welcome to The Catlins, McLean Falls Eco Motels and Holiday Park. Eco - because in 1996, we planted a 3,000 acre, Kyoto compliant, carbon absorbing forest in the Tahakopa Valley, Catlins. This forest absorbs the carbon footprint created in the course of your NZ vacation. So travel with a clear conscience!
Your stopover, is the perfect Catlins Scenic Hideaway and mid-point 'watering-hole', whilst you explore the Catlins region of Southland. Take the newly sealed, southern coastal loop, from Invercargill or Dunedin. This unique portion of the Southern Scenic Route, often known as the Forgotten Coast, will allow you to enjoy one of the least known and most spectacularly rugged, coastal & natural beauty journeys in NZ. A memorable trip not to be missed! Allow some time as there is lots to see along the way, including the Nuggets, and a coastal Jurassic Petrified Forest. For other "what to see" ideas, visit our website: www.catlinsnz.com
Treat yourself to a super comfortable bed or parksite, with privacy and elegance, the touch of nostalgia will make your stay memorable.
Bring your appetite, have a catchup with the locals and sample our very own ranch-raised, 'Texel Prime', Spit-Roasted lamb, at the 'Catlins Casual', Whistling Frog Cafe & Bar (opening September '07). Enjoy the stunning valley vistas, while sipping on a glass of sauvignon at sundown, as the sun sets in spectacular fashion behind, Samson Hill.
Country Club style amenities, including spacious no-fee, tiled showers, with heated floors, well appointed gas kitchen & coin-op laundry.
Native plants complete the Park landscape and attract native birds from the surrounding rainforest. Our small, reclusive Whistling Frogs will sing you off to sleep after your memorable day of beachcombing, wildlife encounters & sightseeing. Ask about our guided glow-worm fern grotto tour at dusk, to finish off the perfect Catlins day!
Base yourself at the epicenter & closest park to many of the Catlins top attractions, including the mighty Cathedral Caves, spectacular McLean Falls, expansive and uncrowded, Tautuku boogie surf beach, Lake Wilkie, eco-dune lake and the Forest & Bird Wildlife Centre. Many people spend an extra night to allow time for all the sightseeing attractions that are within a few kilometres radius of the Park.
