Right on our doorstep, one of the best hidden gems!

This Kiwi beach has made the list of the best secret beaches in the world.

We've had lots of people asking if they will see whale carcasses from the large stranding on the spit a couple of weeks back. The correct answer is no - they have all been moved to a part of the Spit that no one goes to. Once there, nature is left to take its course. If you visit today you would be unaware that a whale had ever been stranded on the Spit.

There is an almost spiritual quality to the beach along the spit, especially if you can catch a moment of quiet to enjoy it

It was wild and windy in Golden Bay last night, but we dont seem to have come out to badly here in Puponga :)

It's a starry starry night... no light pollution in the Abel Tasman National Park means it's just as spectacular by night as by day. 🌞 Amazing photo by 🌞

Just up the road from The Miners Cottage.

This magic spot is one of the few places on Farewell Spit you can walk to. It's a 30 minute walk from the Triangle Flat carpark - follow the signs to Fossil Point beach

Beautiful sunny day here in the bay, and many sightings of dolphins today in Pohara and Abel Tasman
