Bookme ReviewWest Coast Jackson Bay - Day TripPosted by Nina Macleod from Australia on 19 Apr 2026

  • Day Trip to Haast and Jackson Bay

    Visit the wild West coast as far south as you can comfortably drive. See waterfalls and magnificent pools. Eat West Coast white bait and fish n Chips depending on the season, maybe even catch a fish!

    Nina Macleod said... Thanks to Doug for a great day out, despite the typical wet West Coast weather. Doug told us info and history specific to the West Coast but also about NZ in general. We explored Haast, Jackson Bay and places in between. The weather lifted on our return trip and we were treated to sunshine and snowy peaks. I would strongly recommend you carry sandfly repellent if you search for greenstone or take up a fishing option. Definitely stop at The Cray Pot in Jackson Bay for lunch - delicious whitebait and fish n chips, intriguing cafe in an old train carriage, and great views from the shores of Jackson Bay. I loved reading the history boards and understanding the challenges of isolation both in 1850s and today. We did the Ellery Lake walk (leisurely hour and a half return). As Aussie visitors, we found the local flora and fauna so varied, lake is a nice end viewpoint and it’s an easy walk for all. Thanks Doug for a unique insight into the West Coast.
