Excellent selection of locally made New Zealand art, including stunning photography of NZ wildlife and landscapes that you’ll want to take home with you! The penguin photography was a huge highlight. Very friendly service and great to see so many artisans featured in this beautiful shop. Definitely worth a visit- we were so glad we stopped in!

This beautiful lake is off the beaten track, and well worth a visit for a picnic, being surrounded by lovely native bush it has a restful serene feel about it. The public toilets were very clean.

Very cool to see...go at dusk or better yet at night. Don't bother taking photos with your cell/mobile phone as it just adds more light that is not needed. Nature is so cool!!! Note, this doesn't take very long...30 minutes and your done. We stayed at the Holiday Park across the street so we just walked over after watching sunset on the beach and then shared some wine in our camper...an awesome evening!

A short drive from Hokitika is the Treetops walk. Plenty of parking space. A walk to the cafe, shop and paying point where you receive an information brochure and then a walk along a path to enter the structure that takes you high above most of the trees. Great views. Amazing structure. More information available on the walkway. Interesting and enjoyable.
