Catlins' Farmstay The Cloan

About Catlins' Farmstay The Cloan

Explore the Catlins from here, situated in the north of the Catlins. If you want a quiet, rural, self-contained stay and love nature, walking and exploring, then this is it. Read that book, listen to the birds, take pictures. Roads are sealed or gravel and give access to the most beautiful parts of New Zealand. Since it is rural, you can expect muddy roads when wet.
Check out the Cathedral Caves if open, or visit our local Owaka Museum. The Catlins is known for its rugged coast and variety of walks. Take your time and wind down in the cottage attached to the homestead. The kitchen is fully equipped with an oven. Or spoil yourself and dine out in Kaka Point at the Point or in Owaka at Lumberjack. The beds are high quality and firm with all-natural sheets like cotton and linen. The modern tiled bathroom is all yours and has good pressure water that doesn't contain chlorine. Guy and Ella are from The Netherlands and came to New Zealand in 2002. They are completely integrated and speak both Dutch and English fluently. The dairy farm in Benhar near Balclutha is run by their son Simon, and "The Cloan" property is a run-off farm with the young stock between Romahapa and Kaka Point. Guy is pretty busy working on both farms and keeping the cows happy, and Ella assists where needed.
There is a fireplace to keep you toasty warm if needed. The owners love seeing their guests enjoy their stay and are happy to answer any questions you may have. Ella offers photo sessions next door.
