Slip Inn
Feel appropriately maritime in this surprisingly slick restaurant and bar in the thick of the marina. Its signature dishes are the mussels, as well as beer-battered blue cod, pizza, pasta specials and home-made dessert. Good for a cruise-by beer-stop, too.

Shark Nett Gallery
Overlooking the tidal Pelorus estuary, this unique gallery showcases contemporary Maori carving relating to the local Rangitane iwi (tribes). Tours provide an educational and evocative insight into how carving is used to record tribal tikanga (customs) and whakapapa (ancestry). There is also a cafe on-site.

Wakamarinian Café
Heavenly home baking in a cute cottage. Get in early to grab one of the popular pies, or console yourself with proper quiche and a sweet slice – the raspberry and white-chocolate shortcake defies description. Great coffee and excellent value, too, from Beth and Laurie: Havelock’s culinary saviours.

Pelorus Bridge Scenic Reserve
Eighteen kilometres west of Havelock is Pelorus Bridge Scenic Reserve, a pretty forest remnant and riverside recreation area. Explore its many tracks, take a dip in the limpid (but chilly) Pelorus River, or indulge in some home-baking at the cafe. Lucky campers can stay overnight in the wonderful DOC campsite, managed by the cafe owners.
