Dining in The Catlins

Quirky dining, a must-do in the Catlins.

It’s quirky because we have fun with our guests, we have some really cool frog stuff and the walls are loaded with suitcase-friendly, kiwiana momentos and unique gifts at reasonable prices.

Your Catlins experience will not be complete unless you have a pit-stop at the landmark Whistling Frog Cafe & Bar, in the heart of the Catlins, on the spectacular Southern Scenic Route.

The “Frog” features two award winning chefs on staff and a great team of baristas.  You can be assured you will have the best choices of vegetarian, gluten-free and carnivore/fish-friendly options to suit your budget, from morning till late.

Scones loaded with whipped cream, ZEE coffee and Invercargill boutique brewery beers and NZ wines, will relax, refuel and refresh...

Treat yourself - stay the night at the McLean Falls Holiday Park & luxury chalets.  Dine in style in this woodsy hideaway, deep in the heart of the Catlins.
