![This is McLean Falls and it's located in the Catlins, one of the most beautiful areas in New Zealand. Mclean Falls is the tallest and perhaps the most spectacular waterfall in this region and officially reaches 22 metres in height, but this just refers to the main drop of the falls from the very top to where it meets its first water pool, it then descends for many more metres over a series of terraces. #green](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6353156/3662b50b-1336-4abf-b756-880c1f45ea71.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1200&h=500&q=medium)

![This is McLean Falls and it's located in the Catlins, one of the most beautiful areas in New Zealand. Mclean Falls is the tallest and perhaps the most spectacular waterfall in this region and officially reaches 22 metres in height, but this just refers to the main drop of the falls from the very top to where it meets its first water pool, it then descends for many more metres over a series of terraces. #green](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6353156/3662b50b-1336-4abf-b756-880c1f45ea71.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=400&h=400&p=1&q=high)

### The Fern & Thistle Luxury Accommodation

8/10 Good

"The room is spacious and the continental breakfast is great. However, there are five other rooms on the property, and foot traffic in the corridor can be quite loud at times. The bathroom is not attached and is a bit of a hike from the room."

### Curio Bay Salt House Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Great view of the beach from the accommodation and easy access to the beach for walks. Rooms are well lit so you can read at night easily with lots of power points to charge your appliances. As this place is in Curio Bay, it’s recommended to bring your own food as grocery shops and dining out options are scarce. Check in instructions were easy to follow. A relaxing stay with the bonus of location being beachfront with uninterrupted beach view."

## Frequently asked questions

### What is the best area to stay in Catlins Forest Park?

> Owaka is often considered the "capital" of the Catlins, making it a convenient base for exploring. It's a small, rural township with a few essential services like a general store, a petrol station, and a café. Its central position means you're never too far from the Catlins' key natural attractions.
> 
>   
> Couples looking for a peaceful retreat will appreciate the quiet surroundings of Owaka. From here, you can easily access the scenic Pūrākaunui Falls, the captivating Nugget Point Lighthouse with its stunning coastal views, and the beautiful beaches like Cannibal Bay, all within a short drive.
> 
>   
> For families, Owaka offers a practical and comfortable base. Many of the local accommodations provide self-catering options, which is ideal for preparing meals.

### When is the best time to go to Catlins Forest Park?

> This period typically offers the most pleasant weather for exploring the park's natural attractions. You'll find temperatures are milder, making activities like hiking to waterfalls or visiting the coastal viewpoints much more comfortable. While the Catlins can experience rain at any time of year, these months generally have less of it, meaning clearer skies and better opportunities for photography and outdoor adventures.
> 
>   
> For those eager to spot wildlife, particularly penguins and seals, November to February is an excellent time. This coincides with nesting and breeding seasons, increasing your chances of seeing these fascinating creatures along the coastlines, especially around Nugget Point Lighthouse or Curio Bay. The longer daylight hours during these months also allow for more extensive exploration.
> 
>   
> If you prefer a quieter experience and don't mind slightly cooler temperatures, late autumn (April) can also be wonderful. The crowds thin out, and the landscape often takes on beautiful autumnal hues.
