Westport Area
Situated near the mouth of the Buller River, Westport is Buller’s largest town and offers a range of services you’d expect from a larger centre, including an airport. Dine, wine or enjoy a movie! Its central location makes it an ideal place from which to explore the surrounding area – whether its north for arts and crafts, west for surf and seals, or south for fascinating limestone landscapes of the Paparoa National Park.
Full on action or laid back adventure, Buller has it all. Try caving at Charleston, white water rafting, jet boating and kayaking on the Buller River, 4WD driving, horse treks and quad bikes. [More]
It’s just a 10 minute walk to the year-round seal colony at Tauranga Bay, also a favourite swimming and surfing spot. Add on the track to Cape Foulwind and you’ll have a spectacular day. [More]
Immortalized in folklore, the ghost coal-mining town of Denniston lies high on a plateau overlooking the Tasman Sea. Locals have built tracks, viewing platforms and mountain bike trails to enhance your experience. [More]
