Ohiwa Oyster Farm

Perched over a swampy back-reach of Ohiwa Harbour (serious oyster territory), this classic roadside fish shack is perfect for a fish-and-chip picnic or to slurp down mussels and oysters. When the tide's up, keep an eye out for stingrays hanging around the water's edge hoping for a feed; when the tide's out, it'll be weka birds.
