We were lucky with the day we arrived in the Catlins, a beautiful sunny day and a calm night. Easy walk to the lighthouse from the car park to see the sun setting in the west. Worth it. Stunning.

There is so much to see on this short walk to the light house. Seals and so many sea birds for birdwatchers. The walk is easy but the rewards are great. The islands and cliffs are picturesque.

We came here with high expectations and the views from here did not disappoint, they were very beautiful. The lighthouse itself could do with a clean and was much more picturesque from a distance. If you're in the area its worth a visit.

A beautiful place to watch some awesome sunrises that will take your breathe away. It can be quite windy most of the time but the beautiful scenery makes it worthwhile. Walk to the end of the trail and enjoy the beautiful coastlines of the Catlins....More

Short enjoyable walk, spectacular in bad weather. Penguins, albatross and sea lions are all about if you keen eyes.
