WALKING TRACKS & BEACHES

Westhaven has many different hiking opportunities for you. Each track is unique and different.  Some lead to special scenic view points, others wind through beautiful rock formations.  Recharge your batteries on our beautiful secluded beaches, access is also possible by car. The Nikau Forest Walk is another very special track which leads all the way to Turtle Beach, a favourite beach of our guests.  

FISHING

All year round you can catch the popular game fish called kawai here. It's delicious smoked with New Zealand's native manuka tree. In the warm summer months you will catch bream and snapper.  The lucky ones can catch the big trevally and beautiful and very tasty gurnard.

NEARBY ACTIVITIES

We can arrange nearby horse riding, kayaking and caving. The Farewell Spit tours are also very popular in this region.

Recommended is also a drive to the end of the coastal road leading to the Anatori River, another beautiful spot of the region.
