Otaki

For other places with the same name, see Otaki (disambiguation).

Otaki is a town in Greater Wellington that is the place for bargains. At Otaki Beach it's a choice of all the attractions of a beachside community - the sand, the sea and warm summer waters. Otaki Town has civic, historic and Maori cultural identity. In the East, the hills ascend into a wilderness experience for trackers, rafters and hunters.

Otaki has developed its funkiest face. It has reinvented its interface with State Highway 1 making it a place of outlet shopping paradise including stores such as Pumpkin Patch, Bendon, Billabong, Kathmandu and Ice Breaker as well as boutique gift and shoe shops. Grab yourself a coffee from the local coffee cart or cafes and be on your way to shopping madness.
