Colac Bay
Colac Bay (Oraka in standard Māori) is a small township on the Southern Scenic Route, 10 minutes from Riverton. Surrounding areas include Longwood, Tihaka, Waipango, Round Hill, Wakapatu, Ruahine, Pahia and Orepuki.
The town hugs the bay, with sandy beaches and also has a popular surf spot known as Trees. The town has a small dairy, craft shop, pub, caravan park, community hall and Marae. The town also has a statue of a surfer riding a wave, popular with tourists.
Colac Bay Hill, Lake George, Howell's Hills and the Longwood Range make up the geographic landmarks. In places you can see Centre Island and Stewart Island looking across Foveaux Strait.
