Get away from it all

If you are after 5 star hotel luxury you probably shouldn't be planning on going to the Catlins. If you want a 'get away from it all' break then book up immediately. Everything you need is here. Make the most of the deserted beaches, the rainforest walks, abundant wildlife and the feeling that you've just stepped back in time.

Stay at Pounawea haven

Really peaceful with only sound of birds to keep us entertained. Backed into a native bush everything was walking distance. Locked myself out once and was rescued by owner almost immediately by phone. Had a lovely time.
