Westport Area: Scenic Spots and Drives

Buller lends itself to self-exploring by car or campervan. The Coast Road is rated as one of the world’s top scenic drives and you’ll be spoilt for choice checking out all the special spots along the way. Inland roads too lead past spectacular scenery including karst landscapes with towering cliffs and gorges, delightful crystal-clear-flowing rivers and breath-taking views out over the Tasman Sea.
