Glenfalloch Cottage

Catlins - Southland Region
 
Location: Niagra Tokanui Highway, Catlins
Price: Mid-range
Max. No: Sleeps 6

Glenfalloch Cottage is a fully self-contained 3 bedroom farm cottage, settled in the heart of Southern Southland.  Around 10 minutes from Curio Bay, 15 minutes from Tokanui, 45 minutes from Invercargill and 2 hours from Dunedin. We are on the Southern Scenic Route and in a beautiful rural area surrounded by farmland with views of the bush, lush green paddocks and the hills.

Families with children are more than welcome as it is fully fenced and set away from the road, nestled in trees. Tourism is a large part of the Catlins area and as a result there are plenty of eateries and activities in the local area. You can visit waterfalls , petrified forests, Curio Bay Beach and Waikawa Museum. Wildlife is a large part of the area with dolphins, seals and penguins at nearby Porpoise Bay. There are often deer roaming around the paddocks on the farm itself, as well as the sheep and beef cows on the farm.
