The Pūrākaunui Falls is one of New Zealand's iconic, most-photographed sights.
The 15 minute return track to the falls trails through mature beech and podocarp forests, and is suitable for wheelchair users to the top viewing platform. From there the track descends to give you the stunning view of the three-tiered falls that's often seen on calendars and postcards.
There is a carpark, toilets and a picnic area at the beginning of the track to these falls.
A unique experience for the whole family, this park offers a variety of insect-related activities for all ages.
At Papatowai, tucked away in the Catlins, is a green house truck that's the studio of artist-craftsman-tinkerer extraordinaire Blair Somerville.
This walk is suitable for all age groups and provides plenty of variety. It is easy walking, taking around 20 minutes return.
Horse and coach teams once forded the river below the present bridge and you will follow the same route to the beach.
