Sit back and relax in the warm and inviting atmosphere of “The Whistling Frog Cafe & Bar” during a break in your journey or after a day of Catlins adventuring.

Enjoy a refreshing beverage or a delicious hot meal, accompanied by our spectacular sunsets from the heated & enclosed sun deck. Listen to the melodic bellbird chorus and the chirping calls of our resident “Whistling Tree Frogs”.

This central Catlins resort is conveniently located just 400 meters from the Cathedral Caves access road. Walk from your accommodation of choice and hang out with the locals. Our desserts are ‘world famous’, in the Catlins. We even have a wood-fired pizza at ‘Happy Hour’…!
