The local area has classic west coast beaches, fishing, hunting, tramping, a golf course and is world-famous in New Zealand for its whitebait.

At Awakino, you’ll find just 15 houses in the town, a handful of which are permanent residences, plus the hotel for a cold beer and classic kiwi meal, as well as the petrol station two km away for all the essentials.1
