Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Upper Buller Gorge?
The best place to stay in Upper Buller Gorge is in and around the small township of Murchison.

Murchison is the primary service centre for the Upper Buller Gorge and offers the most amenities. It's located at the confluence of the Buller and Matakitaki Rivers, making it a natural hub. The main street, Fairfax Street, has a few cafes, a general store, and some local craft shops. It's a small, friendly community with easy access to the river.

For adventure seekers, Murchison is an excellent base. It's well-known as the "white water rafting capital" of New Zealand, with several operators offering trips on the Buller River. There are also opportunities for kayaking, jet boating, and fishing. The Buller Gorge Swingbridge & Heritage Park, a popular attraction, is just a short drive away.

Couples looking for a peaceful retreat will find plenty of accommodation options ranging from cosy bed and breakfasts to lodges located in the surrounding bush.
When is the best time to go to Upper Buller Gorge?
The best time to go to Upper Buller Gorge is during the summer months, from December to February, when the weather is generally warm and settled.

During these months, you can expect long daylight hours and pleasant temperatures, making it ideal for outdoor activities like hiking, rafting, and exploring the natural beauty of the gorge. The Buller River is at its most inviting for water sports, and the walking tracks are typically dry and easy to navigate. This period is also great for families as it coincides with school holidays, offering plenty of opportunities for adventure activities suitable for all ages.

For those who prefer fewer crowds and cooler, yet still comfortable, temperatures, the shoulder seasons of autumn (March to May) and spring (September to November) are also excellent choices. You'll still find plenty of sunshine for outdoor pursuits, and the changing colours of the foliage in autumn are particularly scenic.
