Tram Track Retreat accommodation in Papatowai, The Catlins

Get away from the hustle and bustle at the tranquil Tram Track Retreat nestled in the heart of the Catlins, one of the most scenic areas of New Zealand.
Stroll in native bush along the many tracks or along the beaches around Papatowai.
Venture to find the old tram-tracks in the native bush behind the cabin that lead towards the town.
Complete with views of native forest, sea, and farm animals you'll be able to relax and unwind with a glass of wine or a good book in the private court yard.
