Westport Hotels - Reviews and Rates

As I left Franz Josef and her amazing glacier, I continued north along the Island's west coast with the aim to take a tour in Greymouth of the brewery that made one of the local beers I had come to enjoy in NZ, Montief's, before continuing north to see the Pancake Rocks and the seal colony at Cape Foulwind.

The tour was insightful (who k...

02/09/08 - L We set off on a long drive from Nelson all the way through to the coast and a town called Westport. On route to Westport we passed Bullers Gorge which was spectacular. Just south of the town on the coast we went to Cape Foulwind. Cape foulwind has a fur seal colony, we saw lots of seal pups on the rocks sheltered from the sea. We al...

Wow, it's amazing how quickly (and willingly) you forget what life is like on the tour bus! Things have been going pretty quickly, and pretty enjoyably. Since Kaikoura, I spent a few nights in Picton (my advice to you- do NOT give this place a chance. There is NOTHING there at all!) I was glad to hop back on the bus for my first time in 6 months...

Tip Top has ****** food but, very good ice cream. One of many old ( 150 yrs. +) Anglican churches. Weka, a chicken size flightless bird that hangs around parking lots begging for food. The seal colony and surrounds. Moron!! Flax, Common on the west coast.

We could get used to holidays. Gavin may have to if Kevin 07 and his team make good on his election promise to sack him. But we'll see... Woke to a few SMS informing us of the election result. Nothing like an election to bring friends together. After breakfast we headed over to the WOW - Wonderful world of wearable art and collectible cars museu...

Went to a beautiful lake this morning there were mountains surrounding it, snow capped mountains in the distance and the water was so still and calm... then we went to a place called murchison to stop for an hour... This afternoon i went horseriding again, it was brilliant, we rode through farmland, beaches, streams and rivers, had a canter alon...

Pandekageklipperne var smukke. Westport var ikke det helt store

Op een of andere manier bijna de bus gemist ook al lagen we rond 00.00 in ons bed en we waren de laatse die de bus binnenstapte. De stop van de dag was lake Rotoiti waar we een wandelingtje van een uur hebben gemaakt en ook hebben geluncht. Hoop dat jullie het met me eens zijn (zie foto) dat je zulke uitzichten niet vaak tegen komt in Nunspeet. ...

Short entry and this was a really quiet day. We joined our Kiwi bus and on our first day we managed to travel on no less then 3 different buses due to some technical difficulties. We managed to get told off my our first driver for being antisocial when we didn't sit next to the other passengers. At this point there were only 4 other people on bo...

Not a spectacular day - spent most of it driving. Westport isn't massive, and is slightly imbred so we had a alcohol-free day and watched some films. Before that Adam, Bohdi, Patrick, Roger and I played touch rugby - good fun but its hard teaching Germans the principles of rugby! Oh yeah, got some good pics of Nelson Lakes on the way to Westport...
