Surat Bay Lodge - The Catlins

Seaside accommodation at Surat Bay-Newhaven, North Catlins. Stay a while and enjoy all of the secrets of the Catlins, its splendid wild coastline, deserted beaches, native sea lions live at our doorstep; fur seals, penguins and lots of native birdlife.

Explore its unusual geological formations including Cathedral Caves, Jacks Blowhole and the Petrified Forest at Curio Bay. We offer New Zealand biggest selection of wildlife: Yellow-eyed penguins, Hector Dolphins, New Zealand Fur Seals and Sealions.

Sometimes during the summer you may see Sea Elephants and Leopard Seals. Every corner has something for you to enjoy.

To see it all needs good planning as many sights require a low tide and wildlife have their own timetable. Take the time to rest in our peaceful surroundings.

We aim to make your stay an experience you will not forget as we have done to hundreds before you. Most of our guests find us by a recommendation from friends and fellow travelers.
