Mussel Inn
Halfway between Takaka and Collingwood, this earthy tavern-cafe-brewery is a Bay institution. A totem pole with crucified mobile phones heralds the mood: this is no place for urban trappings, just excellent beer, wholesome food (mussels, seasonal scallops, fresh fish and steak), open fires and live music. Try a handle or two of ‘Captain Cooker’, a brown beer brewed naturally with manuka, or the delicious ‘Pale Whale Ale’.

Collingwood Museum
The Collingwood Museum fills a tiny, unstaffed corridor with a quirky collection of saddlery, Maori artefacts, moa bones, shells and old typewriters, while the next-door Aorere Centre houses multimedia presentations, including the works of the wonderful pioneer photographer, Fred Tyree.

Naked Possum Café
Relax at this splendid, nouveau-rustic joint after exploring the adjacent Kaituna Track and its goldmining relics and pretty river forks (two hours return). Outdoor fire, ample lawn, great beer and a possum tannery. Wild game a speciality. Book your spot at the popular Friday evening steak barbecue or Sunday roasts.

Courthouse Café
A sophisticated cafe in the 1901 Collingwood courthouse preparing à la carte meals from locally grown organic produce and fresh seafood. Local art; good coffee; interesting wine list. One of the Bay’s best dining experiences.
