The Shambhala
This is a top pick! 'Shand-flaaai..' If you want to try the world's shittest Indian, go to Motueka. We stayed there last night (not at the Indian mind, in Motueka.) We went in following an appetite-building perusal of the township on foot, consisting mainly of one ...
Pohara
... in when we're on the left hand side of the hills as I'm nearest a huge drop, it's heart in mouth stuff sometimes! We stayed at Pohara, in another Top 10 campsite. Just over the road is a mini golf course! So we dashed over for a game before it closed, I ...
Abel Tasman National Park
... so we set out in search of food again. In Takaka we found what we had been hunting for – fish and chips! Unfortunately New Zealand's stolen “own” take away doesn't also offer mushy peas. Like the “Kiwi” (English) breakfast, ...
Abel Tasman
... 18 Feb A brighter start and an improving forecast. NZ forecasters are almost always wrong by the way. Opted to stay a second night in Pohara. Drove east to Totaranui, at the top end of the Abel Tsman walk - just to see what it was like!? Steph decided ...
Abel Tasman National Park

Golden Bay 2
... it!) We felt we had to at least look at what the Abel Tasman National Park has to offer, so turned north from Takaka towards Pohara, via the Wainui Falls. Found a vast beach-side site in Pohara and dined on bacon sandwiches in less than promising weather ...
Pohara National Park
The first thing I saw when we arrived in NZ was a poster in the baggage claims area of Pohara beach, it looked so stunning and I'm glad that we made a detour to be there. We did a few walks, Harwoods hole (a huge drop into an extensive caving ...
Pohara, Golden Bay
... a scenic detour through more mountain and fjord scenery with me driving and looking at the views and Emma watching the road. Driving in New Zealand is like driving in rural UK not too much traffic apart from the odd speedy local and lots of camper vans. ...
Pohara
... , must be careful, could get used to this. No, maybe not. Today was 'ANZAC' day, which was originally to remember the New Zealand and Australian soldiers who died at Gallipoli. I think it has now extended to cover the soldiers of all wars but I am not ...
Pleasantly Pohara
... up the coastal road to the ports for a look around, the road even went though a cave just before the ports, very exciting. Pohara is supposed to have quite an amazing safe beach, unfortunately when we were there it was raining (like quite a few ...

Ins Wasser gefallen...
da habe ich endlich mal Pläne und was ist?! Sie fallen aufgrund von sehr starken Regenfällen ins Wasser! Buchstäblich... Eigentlich wollte ich von Totaranui aus in Richtung Abel Tasman National Park starten, aber es hat den gesamten Mittwoch ...
Motueka to Porha 27th May
Well not a lot to report today only traveled about 60 odd kms but what a journey 9 miles up twisting roads and then 6 down and boy what a road, rain and mist all the way must admit to a bit of bum squeezing, Rob R if your reading this even you would ...
Abel Tasman et les Malborough Sounds
Nous avons enfin compris pourquoi les néo-zélandais aimaient tant mettre des chaussettes avec des tongs, la mimolette et le vélo : ils ont tout simplement failli être hollandais. En effet, Abel Tasman, navigateur hollandais ...
In de Golden Bay
... , en daar hebben we geen auto nodig. Filip haalt ons op in Nelson en brengt ons ter plaatse. Dat is de Bay Lodge in Pohara. De lodge is een droom. We hebben een prachtig ingerichte ruime kamer, er is een whirlpool en een zwembad, en de volgende morgen ...
Golden Bay – Pohara Beach
... west to Nelson, up the coast to Motueka, across the bottom of the Abel Tasman National Park, north to Takaka, and finally the Pohara Beach Holiday Park on Golden Bay. We are no further north than the south of the North Island. It feels warmer too. We are ...
Wine and windy roads
... Will and Kirsty who had the next campervan berth to us at the holiday park in Wellington. They were great fun and were travelling around New Zealand for three months. Got to bed about 10.30pm as we had to be up early to catch the ferry. Got to ferry ...
Completing the Abel Tasman and onward to Picton
We went to sleep to the sound of hooting owls on Christmas night and enjoyed a lie in at our campsite yesterday morning. The day began for me with a swim in the cool, clear waters of Waiharakeke Bay. Chrissie opted to watch from the beach despite me ...
A long, long day!
... of a break to finish off this leg. After a quick stop for dinner supplies in Takaka, we headed to the motel in Pohara (pop 350). The location is lovely and the room is clean but it is lacking in kitchen facilities. The kitchen is a little bar ...
Day 2 Pohara
Woke up to more sunny skies – can't believe how we’ve lucked out with the weather. Started the day with a nice breakfast of bacon and eggs – not an easy feat in our tiny room but Roy was a master. When it was ready, we took out to the ...

A day in Abel Tasman country...
Started the day which was hot hot hot walking to a waterfall. Explored the area very sandy golden beaches. Went sea kyacking with a small group and guide - fabulous went under limestone arches and into caves - saw a little blue penguin fishing ...
Abel Tasman - Day Two
It was a 'rest day' today, which was great, but it meant getting up at 7.30 to go kayaking up river to the old house occupied by the Hadfields, the family that used to own the land. Kylie was with Jacob, and Elisabeth was with me. It was a cruisey trip ...
