Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Pounawea?
The best area to stay in Pounawea is generally Pounawea itself, as it's a small, quiet settlement, with accommodations primarily located along the waterfront or within a short walk of it.

Pounawea is situated on a peninsula bordered by the Catlins River and the Owaka River, offering direct access to the water. The main settlement is concentrated around the Pounawea Road, which winds past holiday homes and a few accommodation options. The Pounawea Waterfront Reserve is a central feature for recreation. This area is ideal for families looking for a peaceful retreat.

Families appreciate Pounawea for its tranquil environment and opportunities for outdoor activities. The tidal estuary is superb for kayaking, fishing, and birdwatching, and there are walking tracks nearby, including those leading to the Surat Bay sea lion colony.
When is the best time to go to Pounawea?
The best time to visit Pounawea is during the warmer months, specifically from December to February, which is New Zealand's summer.

During these months, Pounawea experiences its most pleasant weather, with average temperatures ranging from 15°C to 20°C (59°F to 68°F). This period is ideal for outdoor activities, such as exploring the Catlins region, kayaking on the Pounawea estuary, or walking along the beaches. The longer daylight hours also allow for more time to enjoy the natural beauty of the area.

Couples looking for a tranquil escape will find the summer months particularly appealing. The weather is conducive to romantic strolls on deserted beaches, wildlife spotting, and enjoying the serene environment without the chill of winter. It's a superb time for leisurely exploration and connecting with nature.

Families will also appreciate the summer for its suitability for outdoor adventures. Children can enjoy playing on the beaches, exploring rock pools, and participating in nature walks.
