### Cosy, comfortable cabin in the heart of The Catlins

8/10 Good

"The property was just lovely. Yard and gardens were immaculate and Ray was very nice and pleasant to deal with. It was fine for one nice, but very dated and rather inconvenient to have the bedroom, fridge and "kitchen" & bathroom in 3 separate rooms-you had to go outside to go between them. A moderate renovation & some updates would go a long way to making this spot extra special."

## Frequently asked questions

### What is the best area to stay in Chaslands?

> Papatowai is a small, quiet settlement located beside the estuary of the Tahakopa River, making it an excellent base for exploring the central Chaslands. It's known for its beautiful beach, nearby walks like the Florence Hill Lookout, and the iconic Cathedral Caves, which are accessible at low tide. This area is particularly well-suited for nature enthusiasts and those seeking a peaceful retreat.
> 
>   
> Owaka, a slightly larger service town, is situated a little further north but still within easy reach of the Chaslands' main sights. It provides more amenities, including a local museum, a few shops, and places to eat.

### When is the best time to go to Chaslands?

> During these months, you'll experience the warmest temperatures and the longest daylight hours, which are ideal for enjoying the region's outdoor attractions. This is superb for couples or families looking to make the most of the walking tracks, coastal scenery, and wildlife spotting opportunities. You'll find it easier to visit places like the Cathedral Caves or the McLean Falls without the worry of adverse weather impacting your plans.
> 
>   
> If you prefer a quieter experience with fewer crowds and are prepared for cooler temperatures, the shoulder seasons of spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) are also good options. The scenery is still stunning, with autumn offering beautiful foliage and spring bringing new life to the landscape. This period is well-suited for visitors who prioritise tranquillity and don't mind a bit of a chill in the air, perhaps for a more reflective or nature-focused trip.
