I am interested in...
Takaka Hill is New Zealand's longest hill so take time to stop along the way and look at the spectacular views across the Tasman Bay to Nelson and then across the plains to Takaka.
Moderate to expert walks, from 2 hours one way, up to multi-day walks.
The Cobb River and its glacial valley are nestled in the Kahurangi National Park. From the Golden Bay side of the Tākaka Hill, a narrow 28km road leads up to the Cobb Reservoir (4WD recommended in winter, check for any road closures in bad weather). From the reservoir and lookout, you can drive down to the end of the road at Trilobite Hut and nearby campsite. A multitude of walks are on offer from there.
