Kaiteriteri is a town and seaside resort in the Tasman Region of the South Island of New Zealand. It is close to both Mārahau, the main gateway to Abel Tasman National Park,[3] and the town of Motueka.
Kaiteriteri is a small coastal town reliant on tourism for much of its income, and there are many accommodation providers, cafés, pubs and restaurants.[citation needed] It is also a hub for the adventure tourism throughout the area and into Abel Tasman National Park. A number of walking and mountainbiking trails, including the Kaiteriteri Mountain Bike Park, begin from or pass through the town.[4][5][6]
While it is most visited during the summer months, its temperate climate and low rainfall make it destination outside of peak season also.[citation needed] Nearby Breakers Bay is popular with nudists.[citation needed]
A number of water taxis, larger boats, and sea kayak companies depart from Kaiteriteri, taking visitors deeper into the national park.
