Kaka Point is a small town at the northern edge of The Catlins, an area of the southern South Island. Enjoying a stunning seaside setting it feels like a lovely little village.

It is one of the Catlins prime surfing spots with sweeping sandy beaches. And ‘KP’ also has a beautiful bush walk.

One of New Zealand’s most famous poets, Hone Tuwhare spent his last decades living in an old fashioned crib (basic holiday home) constantly inspired by the spectacular scenery.

The truly remarkable Nugget Point, with its wealth of wildlife, is just up the road.  And there is also a brewery, old-fashioned pub and great function venue.
