The 85km-long Old Ghost Road traverses majestic native forest, open tussock tops, river flats and forgotten valleys, providing days of adventure and spectacular huts for mountain bikers and trampers.

A gentle walk that takes you from the main Oparara Valley car park to the picturesque Moira Gate Arch, located in Kahurangi National Park.

Golden Bay Air provides end-to-end transport for one of New Zealand's most spectacular and diverse Great Walks. The Heaphy Track is a 78km array of lush beech and podocarp forest, sub-alpine tussock downlands and palm fringed wild beaches.

Scotts Beach in Karamea has stunning seascapes and amazing views. The big plus is you will probably have the beach all to yourself.

In the heart of the village, the Last Resort has a tropical atmosphere and a warm West Coast welcome.

The Karamea Hotel is situated in the secluded haven of Karamea, and is the first stop at the end of the Heaphy Track. Relax and explore the beautiful region while staying at this historic hotel.

A platform that allows you organise your own transport to many of the typically difficult to access one-way trails in New Zealand. Avoid booking shuttles or car relocations, instead connect with other trail users and help each other.

Situated in the heart of Karamea, we are the first service off the Heaphy Track. Surrounded by the Kahurangi National Park, we offer a world of natural wonderland experiences, or just a holiday "away from it all".

The Little Wanganui Hotel is nestled in between the lush green hills of the Kahurangi National park and the sandy beaches of the West coast, on the South Island of New Zealand.

Overlooking the popular surf break at Tauranga Bay in the West Coast area of Cape Foulwind, The Bay House Beachfront Accommodation is a unique coastal retreat giving all who come here a sense of escape to somewhere close to Paradise.
