After reading the newsbites on Stuff.co.nz I’ve done some digging on the Golden Bay area of New Zealand.

Located on the very northern tip of the South Island, the Golden Bay area is surrounded by small NZ towns such as Collingwood, Puponga and Takaka.

Takaka is the last town of any size as you head towards the north-west corner of the South Island.
