McLean Falls Eco Motel & Holiday Park

 Welcome to The Catlins, McLean Falls Eco Motels and Holiday Park.  Top spaces in great places. "Pamper-Camping" with attached purpose-built, Whistling Frog Cafe & Bar.

"Eco" - because in 1996, we planted a 3,000 acre, Kyoto compliant, carbon absorbing forest in the Tahakopa Valley, Catlins. This forest absorbs the carbon footprint created in the course of your NZ vacation. So travel with a clear conscience!  Most of our accommodation has a kiwi history and has been lovingly restored to save the environment.

Your Catlins midpoint stopover, the perfect Scenic Hideaway and rendezvous, whilst you explore this special Coastal Conservation Park.  Take the sealed, S.H. 92 coastal loop from Invercargill or Balclutha. This unique portion of the Southern Scenic Route, is often referred to, as the 'Forgotten Coast'.
