Whirinaki Holiday House

The Whirinaki River is one of the largest tributaries of the Rangitaiki River and provides excellent fishing for a large population of both rainbow and brown trout in very clear water that flows over a rock and stone bed. Large sections of the river flow through native forest providing high quality wilderness fishing conditions. Fish can be spotted in the clear water especially on brighter days.

The Whirinaki finds great favour amongst anglers because of the quality of the fishing and the beautiful scenic nature of the river and its surroundings.
