Plan your trip

Tucked away in a corner of Kahurangi National Park, the Oparara has a magic all of its own, born of millions years of undisturbed isolation.

If you’re in need of somewhere away from it all, then prepare to be bewitched, charmed, and enchanted by one of New Zealand’s best kept secrets – Buller and the Northern West Coast.

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

The Karamea Village 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.

Do call in to the Information Centre when you come to Karamea. We look forward to meeting you, and sharing our lovely district and its attractions with you.
