Slope Point, Petrified Forest (Curio Bay) + Nugget Point | THE CATLINS, New Zealand
The Catlins is an utterly captivating corner of the South Island of New Zealand. It's a spectacular, rugged coastal stretch between Invercargill and Balclutha. We wish we spent longer in this area to explore more of its wonders but we thoroughly enjoyed what we did get to see during our time there.
First stop was Slope Point which is officially the southern-most point of the South Island of New Zealand. You go through private farmland to get to the cliff's edge and ocean views but note that if there are sheep present, there's no public access during the lambing season of Sep - Nov.
For lunch we ate at Niagara Falls Cafe. Fresh, wholesome food with locally sourced ingredients, it was a great spot to refuel, warm up and dry ourselves off in before continuing on with our exploration of The Catlins.

After a great lunch we headed over to Curio Bay where we got to see the very special Petrified Forest that dates back to the Jurassic period. You can walk around the petrified forest during low-tide so it's best to check when that is prior to visiting. Also, to see the rare yellow-eyed penguin you need to go either in the very early morning or late afternoon. Remember to be respectful of their space and keep at least 50 metres from them though.

Nugget Point aka "The Nuggets" had fantastic views. It's an easy, short, slightly uphill walk to get to the viewing platform plus if you're lucky you might be able to spot a fur seal colony on the rocks at sea level to the left of the track on the way to the lighthouse.
When visiting Nugget Point, don't forget to pull over at Roaring Bay too which is another little scenic area where you might get the chance to spot rare yellow-eyed penguins.
