Tis a grand thing to roll up (quietly) to your Forest and Bird hut in a Tesla. Grand and kind of counter-intuitive. It s altogether too money-bags, too techno-boastful, frankly too bloody flash for people about to spend the night in a sleeping bag.
But that s exactly what we do in Lenz Reserve in the Catlins and it s okay because the Tesla is driven by a former chair of the local Forest and Bird and he s only bought such an extravagant car because it s electric and he doesn t even fly, not even around New Zealand, any more.
The Catlins, something of a tourist backwater in pre-covid times, is enjoying a surge in travellers as Kiwis discover (or rediscover) their own country. The Catlins is the area between Balclutha and Invercargill running along the southeast coast. It’s the alternative to the main highway running west from Balclutha to Gore and then south to Invercargill.

The Catlins are full of stunning beach views, this one is from Florence Hill. Along our way, my wife and I climbed hills, took in waterfalls, admired wetlands, searched for sea lions, stood starry-eyed at the Niagara Falls and ate several meals of blue cod, every one as good as the last.
