Atawhai Farm Backpackers

476 Wangapeka Valley Rd

Your hosts, Bill and Leitu Jackson, offer a welcoming environment to just chill out, or relax before or after walking the Wangapeka or the Heaphy track.

Located on the wild and picturesque West Coast of New Zealand's South Island, in the tranquil Wangapeka Valley, only 5 minutes from the Wangapeka Track.

Get in amongst it with your own personal small-farm experience or take advantage of the huge range of options to enjoy the great outdoors, from nice and easy, to go hard.

Awake to the chorus of bird song. Feel free to explore our 60 acres of beautiful farmland, which includes 40 acres of protected rainforest. 

The Little Wanganui River is our back boundary enjoy a cool swim in summer, catch a fresh trout or watch the eels ride the currents. Make friends with the farm horse, the dogs, and of course, the sheep, cows and chickens.

At Atawhai Farm, we are always striving to be sustainable and environmentally friendly.
