Stay at Mōkihinui

Nestled under the western shoulder of Kahurangi National Park.

Where the sea meets the pristine Mōkihinui River; you’ll find our classic kiwi campground.

The unique location of our facility provides access to Whitebaiting, Trout, Kahawai, and Herring fishing in the bordering river; and surfcasting for Rig and Snapper off the beach.

The perfect place to unwind. Light a beach bonfire, toast some marshmallows, and listen to the waves lapping at your doorstep. There’s something for the whole family at Mōkihinui.

About Mōkihinui

Mōkihinui is a quiet coastal settlement on the West Coast of New Zealand’s South Island, about 40km north of Westport. Nestled between the Tasman Sea and the foothills of the Glasgow Range, the village sits near the edge of Kahurangi National Park, with State Highway 67 passing through on its way to the northern West Coast.

The Mōkihinui River, the third largest on the West Coast; begins high in the Lyell, Radiant, Glasgow, Allen, and Matiri Ranges. It carves its way through steep granite and limestone gorges, flows across open flats, and finally reaches the Tasman Sea near the settlement. Rich in history, scenery, and natural life, the Mōkihinui area offers a unique slice of wild, untamed Aotearoa.
