Driving De Malmanches Road in Mokihinui from SH67, on the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island.

Mokihinui is a small coastal settlement about 40km north of Westport on the western side of Kahurangi National Park. The Mokihinui River is a top-quality river providing fantastic wilderness fishing, with large heads of fish that can easily reach trophy size. The river is one of the country's top wilderness rivers, with great fishing along its length, with the two upper branches being the most popular. The river gives access to Trout, white baiting, Herring, and Kahawai fishing in the bordering river; and surf casting for Rig and Snapper off the beach.

The Kahurangi National Park is on the town's doorstep. It is the perfect spot for a relaxing break away or to use as a base for hunting, fishing, or white baiting. There are various accommodation options available in Mokihinui, with great dining options. The town is situated between the sea and the foothills of the Glasgow Range. SH67 passes through Mokihinui just before its northernmost end. Mokihinui is the perfect place to relax. You can light a bonfire on the beach, toast marshmallows on the fire, or listen to the waves lapping at your doorstep.
