Now the Catlins really are in the very South East corner of New Zealand and many tourists tend to bypass this area on their travels as it is a little off the 'beaten track'. Every local Kiwi we spoke to about the Catlins said they had heard it was lovely but actually had also not even seen it themselves as it was too far.
We are glad to say we made the effort to go and explore the area and we were absolutely rewarded. A very rugged, wild and quiet part of coastline. We have used this word before in the blog ... Stunning!!! :-)
