We had our car relocated from Lyell to the end of the Old Ghost Road. Buller Adventures provided an excellent service with great communication and we also got bonus shower vouchers so we could have a shower at the end at the Rough and Tumble lodge. Having the car waiting for us at the end was the perfect way to end a perfect trip.

Reviewed By 66kiwitraveller - Dunedin, New Zealand

4 of us walked TOGR over 4 nights, 5 days. It was awesome. We walked south to north, and the first two days it rained, so on Day 3 when we awoke to beautiful blue skies we walked back 2.5klms without our packs first thing in the morning from Ghost Lake hut, so that we could see the views from Heavens Door and the Tombstone. So glad we did, the views were absolutely worth it. The terrain and scenery on this track is ever changing, and always spectacular. Great huts, well equipped and plenty of hand sanitiser available. Thanks to the people who built this track and to those who maintain it. Loved it!

Denniston Heritage Trust

Reviewed By Jemmux96 - Wellington, New Zealand

Our trip to Denniston was surrounded in cloud due to the wet weather. Fortunately, none of the ambiance was taken away, if not enhanced by the mist covered ruins and step cliffs. Such intriguing history and such a dangerous environment for the miners to work in back in the early days of West Coast mining.

Surf Fevah

Reviewed By MysteriousD - Christchurch, New Zealand

Popped into Surf Fevah with my family while we were on Holiday in Westport. This is a great wee surf shop, and brings a really modern feel the the area. They offer an awesome range of men's and woman's clothes, as well as surf accessories, surf equipment and lots of other cool bits and pieces. This place has the distinctive "west coast" laid back vibe, but is a cool modern way. They also offer surf lessons! Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area!
