A safe, sandy beach and the wild West Coast, right on your doorstep.
Set beside the beach in the Buller region, Carters Beach TOP 10 Holiday Park is a relaxed base for discovering the wild landscapes and easy-going character of the West Coast — with one of the region's safest swimming beaches only steps from the gate, and Westport just 10 minutes away.
However you like to holiday — motel, apartment, cabin, powered site or a simple tent pitch — there's a spot for you here.
Step outside and the coast is right there to enjoy. Walk the beach, jump on the Kawatiri Coastal Trail, or head to Cape Foulwind for dramatic scenery, the lighthouse walkway and the fur seal colony — it's the perfect base for exploring Westport and the Buller region properly, not just passing through.
