Haast is a small township of around 400 people, located on the central west coast, in the Westland Region in the West Coast District of the South Island.

The Haast Region is actually a large area of over 2.500 sq km of spectacular landscapes, that includes the main Haast Township, Haast Beach, Haast Pass and Haast Junction.  The area is most noted for its quiet, deserted coves and beaches, the white water of the Haast River and Hell's Gate and the stunning scenery everywhere you look.

The area is on the main tourist scenic route of State Highway 6, that runs almost the whole length of the West Coast District, starting around the Westport area, travelling parallel to the coastline through Greymouth, Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers area, and Haast Junction, before carrying on the the southern lakes.

As the region is quite rural, and the area is unspoilt and undeveloped by humans, it offers uniques scenery, thriving native wildlife and a variety of outdoors and adventure activities.  The area offers everything from sea and fly fishing, deer stalking and hunting, birdwatching and nature walks and hikes, to jet boat safaris, helicopter adventures, glacier flights and boat tours to view seals, penguins and dolphins.

The town is quite small, and has a limited number of accommodation properties and services, but does have a supermarket, gift shops, locally made craft, gift and jewellery stores, a selection of restaurants, cafes and bars and a selection of accommodation from hotels, motels, bed & breakfasts, campgrounds and boutique lodges.
