Big Heart Beach is just a 5-minute drive south of Hokitika township.

  • If you’re coming from the north, look out for a large solo tree on the right-hand side of the highway.

  • If you’re traveling from the south, you’ll see the same large tree on your left-hand side.

Once you’ve spotted the tree, turn into the driveway. Follow the driveway all the way to the end - Big Heart Beach is the beautiful house at the far end of the drive, straight ahead!
