Introducing Motueka
The looong, gun-barrel-straight main street of Motueka (pronounced Mott-oo-ecka, meaning ‘Island of Wekas’) is itself unremarkable, but the town makes a handy pit stop en route to Golden Bay and the Abel Tasman and Kahurangi National Parks – in summer it’s a busy place. There’s a free-wheeling community of craftspeople in the hills around here, and the town has pubs, banks, supermarkets and some excellent cafés. Motueka is also the heart of a green-tea, hops and fruit-growing area; apples, grapes and kiwifruit are harvested from March to June. Pick up a bag of a dozen kiwifruit by the roadside for $1!
