Sometimes the sky just steals the show.

Sunlight breaking through layers of cloud turning the morning into something pretty spectacular

Wild, rugged & all that driftwood - Pure West Coast.

A stunning sunset at Tauranga Bay, with the whole beach to ourselves and the seabirds putting on their own air show.

Have you spotted Westport’s newest piece of public art?

Our photograph, A Window In Stone, captured at Cape Foulwind’s iconic Hole in the Rock, now has pride of place in Lyndhurst street, for everyone to enjoy.

We’re proud to have donated the image to this project, made possible through the generous sponsorship of Buller REAP.

It was a true community effort. A big thank you Rachelle from Heritage Jewellers who cleaned and painted the wall in preparation, and to Steve from The Sign Shop for bringing it all together with printing and installation.

And finally, thank you to Promoting Buller for organising the project and helping showcase another beautiful piece of Buller to locals and visitors alike.

It’s wonderful to see our region celebrated through local collaboration and art.

Contact Promoting Buller Inc if you’d like to sponsor an art installation in Buller.

The Cape Foulwind cliffs never fail to impress. Towering above the Tasman Sea, they’ve been shaped by wind, waves and time, creating one of the West Coast’s most striking coastlines. It’s the kind of place that reminds you just how powerful nature can be.

Have you stood here and taken in this view?

Sunset over the Steeples. 🌅
Framed by a beautiful old macrocarpa, this view never gets old. And we wonder how many people have admired this view over the years.

Have you stopped here to watch the sun go down? ✨
