Clear directions led us to our Tata stay in time for us to walk along the beautiful rugged beach. We then settled in to our well appointed rooms made cosy with homemade touches including preserves, whole milk, and stewed fruit. An amusing local guide book made recommendations. We suggest the Dangerous Kitchen for dinner at Takaka. A perfect launchpad to commence the Heaphy noting it’s an hour and a bit to the start (hit Pupu springs en route).
