Buller District: Heritage Experiences
Buller’s landscape has not only shaped by nature, but the efforts of early pioneers who came looking for gold and coal. Their dedication, camaraderie and hard slog gave this area its hospitality and charm that visitors will experience. And pride in our industrial heritage is why we like showing it all off today! You’ll be overly impressed just how much got done with just pick and shovels.
