Located in the Kapiti Coast District half way between the capital city Wellington and Palmerston North, Ōtaki is a hidden gem in the greater Wellington region. From Otaki you can plan expeditions into the Tararua Forest Park, where there are great hiking and hunting opportunities. You can also relax at the beach, the third destination for a true Ōtaki experience. Here you will find classic Kiwi baches, great fishing, horse riding, surfing, cycle paths and a safe beach with an active surf lifesaving club.
