Introducing Collingwood
Far-flung Collingwood is the last town in this part of the country, and has a real end-of-the-line, frontier vibe. It’s busy in summer, though for most people it’s simply a launch pad for the Heaphy Track or trips to Farewell Spit.

The Collingwood Museum (03-524 8131; Tasman St; admission by donation; 10am-4pm) fills a tiny, unstaffed corridor with a quirky collection of saddlery, Maori artefacts, moa bones, shells and old cameras, typewriters and telephony.
No Collingwood visit would be complete without dipping into Rosy Glow Chocolate House (03-524 8348; 54 Beach Rd; chocolates $3-5; 10am-5pm Sat-Thu). Chocoholics will go nuts for handmade chocolates produced with loving attention.
