Takaka is the heart of Golden Bay and is located between the two famous National Parks, the Abel Tasman and the Kahurangi. This region is much loved for its unique beaches and its spectacular nature, without forgetting the laid-back and alternative lifestyle of the locals. You can visit places like: Wharariki Beach, Pupu Springs, Wainui Falls, old goldfields, wineries, potteries, restaurants, cafes and even a movie theatre... where you find relaxation and entertainment. The world famous Heaphy and the Abel Tasman tracks, together with lots of smaller walks, offer plenty of tramping experiences for everybody. Farewell Spit is a unique place for ornithologists and casual birdwatchers. For those who just like to relax, there are the beaches with golden sands, crystal-clear waters or lush rain forest. Excellent regional wines or naturally brewed beers at the rustic Mussel Inn will spoil every gourmand.
