Activities around Karamea

Take a leisurely stroll around our lovingly tended award-winning gardens.

The beach is a 15-minute walk, and the river is only a 5-minute walk.

If you like fishing then there is surf-casting, fly-fishing and whitebaiting (in season) to enjoy.

Oparara Basin and the Honeycomb Caves (limestone formations) are a one-hour drive away.

Public access to the DOC-restricted Honeycomb Hill is by guided tours only, due to the delicate ecological nature of the area.

The Heaphy Track caters for trampers all year round and mountain-bikers from May 1st to September 30th. There are several well-graded walking tracks (40 minutes to 6 hours) at the beginning of the Heaphy Track, which is 15km north of Karamea.
