Papatowai

Travel Guide

Florence Hill Lookout at Tautuku Bay on the Chasland Highway, near the Catlins Forest Part
In the "town" of Papatowai in the Catlins, there are few quirky spots like the Lost Gypsy Gallery (closed in winter) and beautiful easy walks along the beach at the end of town. A great place for a quick pitstop.

Booked for 5 nights, stayed 1 during the peak holiday season. A number of issues around cleaning following the last guests and a loud internal water pump next to one bedroom. Far from ideal. Property wasn’t as expected for the price.
