Driving Takaka Hill - My favourite drive in New Zealand
Reaching the Top of the South, ie the north part of the south island of New Zealand, you come across a road that takes you up and then down Takaka Hill. It is one of my favourite roads in New Zealand. What a fantastic drive!

Marahau Travel Guide - New Zealand Magical Moments
Marahau (Maori: Mārahau) is a very small settlement in the Tasman Region of the South Island of New Zealand, approximately 19 kilometres (12 mi) north of Motueka. Its location on Tasman Bay and at the southern entrance of Abel Tasman National Park makes it a popular holiday destination for those keen on outdoor activities. People access the Abel Tasman from Marahau by tramping, kayaking and water taxi. In Marahau itself, the beach offers sheltered and safe swimming, and horse trekking is popular throughout the busy summer season.
Marahau guards the eastern entrance to the Abel Tasman National Park. From the Abel Tasman Centre in Marahu you can book water taxis, hire kayaks, embark on a canyoning adventure or set off on the Coastal Walking Track. The sleepy settlement is the perfect place to get away from it all. Choose from a range of backpacker and self-contained accommodation, or the camping grounds which are popular over the summer holiday season.
Marahau's sprawling beach offers safe swimming and at low tide you can even see people wiggling their toes in the sand – but really, they are just digging for shellfish and cockles. For a memorable meal, make yourself comfortable at Hooked on Marahu, the sunny waterfront café and beer garden, with grand views of the beach and delicious local, organic dishes. For a casual lunch or dinner, you can't miss Fat Tui Burger, serving up world famous burgers from a caravan.
Abel Tasman National Park is a wilderness reserve at the north end of New Zealand’s South Island. It’s known for the Abel Tasman Coast Track, a long trail winding over beaches and across ridges between Marahau in the south and Wainui in the north. The headland at Separation Point is home to New Zealand fur seal colonies. Little blue penguins, bottlenose dolphins and seals inhabit the Tonga Island Marine Reserve.
Tokangawhā / Split Apple Rock is a geological rock formation in Tasman Bay off the northern coast of the South Island of New Zealand. Made of granite from the cretaceous, it is in the shape of an apple which has been cut in half. The cleft to produce two sides of the 'apple' was a naturally occurring joint.
The Abel Tasman Coast Track is a 60 kilometres long walking track within the Abel Tasman National Park in New Zealand. It extends from Marahau in the south to Wainui in the north, with many side tracks. The Ngarua Caves are a series of limestone caves in the Takaka Hill range south of Abel Tasman National Park. The caves are located close to Takaka Hill's summit, adjacent to State Highway 60 as it winds its way over the Takaka Hill between Motueka and Upper Takaka.
Tinline Bay is a cove and beach located within The Abel Tasman National Park in the South Island of New Zealand. It is located approximately 2 kilometres from the entrance to the park near Marahau and is the southern start of The Abel Tasman Inland Track. The town of Motueka in the South Island of New Zealand lies close to the mouth of the Motueka River, on the western shore of Tasman Bay. It is, after Richmond, the second largest centre in the Tasman Region

HANG-DOGGING - PAYNES FORD SWIMMING HOLE - TAKAKA RIVER
Betsy was pleased to hit the road once more over the Marble Mountain of Takaka Hill, the only highway into Golden Bay (named from the 1842 gold rush, not the golden sands). Met Danny from The Palace BBH at Hangdog climbers campsite in Paynes Ford near Takaka. Took a dip in the river as was too hot to climb, swam or rather buffeted down the rapids. The monster rope swing was out of action but the smaller one was proving very popular. Had to shuffle under the cliff on a tiny ledge to reach the rope swing area. The cool waters of Takaka River were divine. The climbers tackled 'Acid Test' a spider climb on the ceiling of the nodule and hole encrusted overhang. A premature splosh in the waters concluded each and every attempt. Campfire circle sing-song saw the night to a close.
