Tourist Guide

Panorama of New Zealand from Takaka hill
Scenic views over vineyards and mountains in the Motueka Valley, Tasman District, New Zealand
Cayoning in Able Tasman was awesome... However not for the faint of heart! Definitely scared me numerous time. Rappels and zip lines where awesome, slides were a little scary... But the jumps... OMG... So scary. I couldn't even do the second one (despite amazing and cute, lol, guides).

Most everything you go solo - however this was the party slide lol

Lovely town. Sunday Market was great and worth the visit. Moutere Hills Winery was exceptional for our family lunch. Local Hotel had a courtesy vehicle to get back to motel which was much appreciated. As the walk was too far from town.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Busy, bustling cosmopolitan town with lots of interesting shops and excellent Sunday market. Check out European Bakery for their croissants and Smoking Barrels - interesting selection of burgers. Very family friendly place, loads of playgrounds.

4/5 - Good
