Pounawea, a quiet seaside settlement in the Catlins, is a
great place for fishing, kayaking, picnicking, bird watching
(forest and sea birds) and for bush and estuary walks. Helena
de Reus talks to a family visiting the seaside township.
On your next trip to the Catlins stop over at Owaka and drop
in at the distinctive state-of-the-art community resource the
Owaka Museum (Wahi Kahuika: the Meeting Place).
Whether you're seeking a romantic getaway or a memorable
family adventure, one stopover well worth visiting is located
in the geographical heart of the Catlins Coastal Conservation
Park.
