Driving SH60 from Takaka to Upper Takaka, in the Tasman Region, on the western corner at the north end of the South Island of New Zealand.

Takaka is located at the south eastern end of Golden Bay in the Nelson region. With a community that includes many alternative lifestylers it's a town full of character. There's a small museum, a movie theater and a great choice of shops and cafes. The town also offers plenty of value-for-money accommodation, including backpacker lodges, B&Bs and home stays. Other nearby attractions include Waikoropupu Springs, the largest freshwater springs in New Zealand, and an art trail that will reveal the region's creativity. A nature lover's paradise, there is just one road in and out of Golden Bay, and those who travel over the ‘Marble Mountain' or Takaka Hill, are richly rewarded by sweeping views of rugged mountains, fertile valleys and stunning beaches.
