The Ōtira River is located in the central South Island of New Zealand. It rises on the slopes of Mount Rolleston in the Southern Alps / Kā Tiritiri o te Moana, and flows north for 20 kilometres (12 mi), passing through the town of Otira before joining the Taramakau River.[1] The Taramakau's outflow is into the Tasman Sea, 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) south of Greymouth.
