Not too far from Takaka lies the Wainui Bay with the weekend-walk of our choice :)

Weekend in Golden Bay!

Weekend day trip to the NP, from Anchorage to Torrent Bay and back via Cleopatra’s Pool.

A daytrip to the Kahurangi in a quest for black and white stones for the garden mosaic we’re planning.  

Walkie talkie!

Meet Hans, our pet. We treated him well and fed him with fresh twigs of swan plant every day while he was a caterpillar.
