Kāpiti Gravel Grab

No bookings required, just turn up.

Give your garden or landscaping project that extra bit of pizazz with river stones from the Ōtaki River! Bring a trailer and/or a shovel and meet us next to the river. Graders will be there to put rocks directly into your trailer for no cost.

No trailer? No worries! We’ll show you an area where you can pick your own rocks to load into the boot. Help us prevent flooding in Ōtaki by removing excess stones that bank up along the river, changing its natural flow and creating a flood risk.

Getting there: Turn left off SH1 after Ōtaki Bridge (if coming from Wellington). Address is the GWRC Otaki Depot - directions to the gravel grab site will be signposted from there.
