Guests staying at Catlins Newhaven Holiday Park are a 5-minute walk from Surat Bay, a long sand beach in Newhaven, where you may be lucky enough to see a Hooker Sea Lion.

Although we didn’t see any wildlife, the staff were helpful in pointing out where they’ll likely be! Located a couple minutes walk from the beach.
Facilities are super clean! Shower takes a minute to warm up and are coin operated. I like that they are eco-conscious and use rainwater! Coins are given at checkout, one per person for 7 minutes.
Catlins area accommodation provides accommodations in Owaka. This apartment features free private parking, private check-in and check-out, and free Wifi.

Amazing place and very central to all the amazing walks and sights to see in the Caitlin’s. Great pub for drinks and meals, shops, petrol and a cool playground for the kids!
The information centre/museum etc was also great with very knowledgeable staff.

We all loved the local Museum, it was excellent. Also the bush walks to waterfalls, the Nuggets and Lost Gypsy Gallery were all wonderful! There's so much to do and see, we needed more time to see the Cathedral Caves; next time!

Lovely wee town!
Lovely wee town! Make sure if you see the country store or little boutique stores open, you go and have a look!! My biggest regret is leaving that to our last day as there was so much to see! The park also has a nice picnic area too! Four square staff are lovely!!

Many environmental places nearby to visit.
Many environmental places nearby to visit. Exceptional museum/library that is worthwhile visiting. A few shops but interesting items. Local pub & cafes offer range of food.
All highly recommended.
Our must visits = Tunnel Hill (Take a torch), McLean Falls (track has a number of steps).
Owaka is walking friendly everywhere.

Owaka, Southland, Catlins, a very special and underestimated Paradise where you can find tranquility and inner peace. The Mother Nature makes you feel like you are the only person in this wonderful part of the World. I can't wait to come back here again.....

Nugget point lighthouse. Cathedral Caves.
Nugget point lighthouse. Cathedral Caves. Mclean Falls , Matai Falls and other Falls in the area. Plenty of nature walks and beautiful beaches, scenery, plenty for the nature lovers to explore. Good small shopping supermarket in Owaka even has small screw on EN517 gas canisters for reasonable price and other camping essentials. Very impressive for a small town. Would definitely recommend a stay in this Catlins area.
