Purakanui and Matai falls are a nice detour on way to Owaka Catlins brewery at Kaka Point could be a goer, @igor , knows the owner Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
igor 11,769 Report post Posted April 12, 2018 Norman at Catlins Brewery is a GC. Might be able to work something out if I see him before hand. Be warned, drunkenness is likely to ensue. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
