Te Kuha is a small village located to the east of Westport in the Buller District of the West Coast region of New Zealand's South Island.
Passenger services no longer pass through Te Kuha and the railway mainly transports coal to the east coast port of Lyttelton.
The road ends as the railway enters the Buller Gorge, and the surrounding flats are used for farming.
Although this point was the punt crossing in the early days for the road on the south bank at Windy Point, the building of the black bridge across the Buller spelt the death knell of Te Kuha.
[citation needed] Te Kuha was classified as a "limited employment locality" in 2004, with the government cancelling benefits for unemployed individuals who moved to the area.
