Harwood (or Harwood’s) Hole is a cave system located in the northwest of the South Island of New Zealand. It is one of several important cave systems in Takaka Hill between Golden Bay and Tasman Bay. Starting at the surface as a 50 metre round entrance and descending 183 metres Harwood Hole is New Zealand’s deepest vertical shaft. Further in it connects with Starlight Cave. The long rope descent is considered one of the most spectacular parts of the caving experience at Harwood’s.
