Most of the area is inland, in the Catlins Conservation Park, a challenging area dominated by a complex series of parallel ridges. On the coast there are blocks with gentler, but still heavily forested, terrain.
Climate
The climate is cool and moist with the watersheds of the Catlins Conservation Park particularly exposed to wet weather.
