Matai Falls showing forest scenes and a cascade

Matai Falls which includes a cascade and a pond
This beautiful waterfall is found in the Catlins and is an easy walk to get to. When you reach a fork in the path, take the one that goes down to get to this waterfall. Alternatively, if you would like to see another waterfall above this one, check my profile out to see the Horseshoe Falls!
Only a short walk from the side of the road in the Catlins, you can easily visit both the Matai Falls and the Horseshoe Falls (in image). To get to the Horseshoe Falls, simply take the path that goes up steeply instead of the one that goes down. It's definitely worth it!

Great base camp for exploring the Catlins
This was a great base camp for exploring the Catlins. Beds were clean and comfortable, although I felt I had to wipe down the kitchen before using it. The property was amazing! Beautiful views of the estuary, a peaceful place to walk in the mornings, and good view of stars at night.
