The Whistling Frog Cafe, Accommodation & Camping resort, lies in the heart of The Catlins Coastal Conservation Park. Built to provide all the amenities for our guests to enjoy this ancient Podocarp Rainforest, with stunning scenic viewpoints, magnificent waterfalls, giant sea caves, and an ice-age, mirror dune lake. All literally within minutes of this unique property. This remote location away from city lights offers the 'Australis, Southern Lights' & rare photo opportunities against this pitch black sky. You can even see an abundance of rare wildlife, including sealions and yellow-eyed penguins, on the nearby beaches. Your ideal, mid-point stop-over on your "Southern Scenic" adventure from Queenstown to Dunedin, this hidden gem of a venue, is ideally situated next to the McLean Falls and the low-tide accessible, 'Cathedral Caves'. Offering budget and self contained accommodation with on-site award winning eatery & brew pub, barista coffee & goodies, free WIFI, free DVD hire, guest 'Happy Hour' and our unique, free 'Catlins Locals Guide Map', so that you won't miss a thing. Featuring, chef-prepared meals, our "New Zealand's Best Pie competition, Steak Pie", beer battered local blue 'cod & chips', jumbo juicy burgers', steaks, wood-fired pizza at 'Happy Hour' most days in the summer, plus quick service at lunch to get you back on the road fast. We're on the 'McLean Falls' Road, next to all the key attractions and just 400 meters to the 'Cathedral Caves' access road! Choose from romantic, modern, self-contained chalets, comfortable ensuite motel studios with rimu hush walls, historic TV cabins or park and play at our sheltered powered van sites or tent sites. We recently added the Papatowai Country Store, Motels & Fuel, to our accommodation options. If you want to be by the beach, there are 3 x self-contained units, located a short 8 minute drive north from the "Whistling Frog" complex, at the Papatowai Beach settlement. There you can enjoy the verandah with bush setting and a short 2 minute stroll to the picture perfect, Papatowai Beach & Kings Rocks trail. The Catlins, are rugged, remote and endowed with the largest tracts of native rainforest and endangered marine wildlife. The region is sparsely populated with stunning coastal scenery. A 'must see' during your South Island Adventure, along the famous 'Southern Scenic Route'.
