Introducing Takaka

Laid-back to near-horizontal, Takaka is the business centre for the Golden Bay area, and the last town of much import as you head towards the South Island’s northwest corner. The local community of rootsy artists and bearded, dreadlocked types rubs shoulders with hardened farmers and crusty fisherman in harmonious equilibrium: the bike shop sells guitar strings; the pub serves chai.
