West Coast
Aptly named, the West Coast is made up of three districts; Buller, Grey and Westland. Stretching from North to South, around 600km, the West Coast region of the South Island is no wider that 70km at any one point. The wild Tasman Sea pounds its coastline covered in temperate coastal forest.
Voted one of the top 10 drives in the world, the West Coast has vast glaziers, ancient forests with rare wildlife and waterways with great fishing.
The South Island’s West Coast is one of New Zealand's fastest growing and most diverse regional economies. There is a continuing high demand for people to fulfill business and job opportunities and this is attracting people from all over the world.
Nestled between the Southern Alps and the Tasman Sea this is an area in a spectacular and beautiful environment.
