Welcome<br />

Welcome to <strong>Tasman</strong><br />

Kia ora and welcome to Hummin in <strong>Tasman</strong> –<br />

your summer guide to the events, businesses and<br />

<strong>Council</strong> services for the <strong>Tasman</strong> region.<br />

<strong>Tasman</strong> <strong>District</strong> covers 9,786 square kilometres and is home to three<br />

beautiful and diverse national parks - Abel <strong>Tasman</strong>, Kahurangi and Nelson<br />

Lakes. Fruit-growing, seafood, farming and forestry are the lifeblood of our<br />

<strong>District</strong>, while viticulture and winemaking have also come of age.<br />

The usual population of our <strong>District</strong> is about 50,000, however this explodes<br />

over the summer months, thanks to an influx of visitors who come to<br />

enjoy the many delights on offer – stunning scenery, beautiful beaches,<br />

charming towns and villages and iconic events.<br />

Whether you’re a local or a visitor, we hope this guide will assist you in<br />

getting the most out of summer. As well as an events guide, you’ll find<br />

town maps, information on some popular parks and reserves, dog exercise<br />

areas, boat launch ramps, museums and libraries. The business listings<br />

section at the back features information on accommodation, places to eat<br />

and activities.<br />

So get out there and make the most of all that our<br />

region has to offer this summer.<br />

Golden Bay<br />

<strong>Motueka</strong><br />

River<br />

The dramatic karst landscape at the top of the Takaka<br />

Hill has the power to transport you to another world.<br />

Remarkable land and seascapes create the character of<br />

Golden Bay in colours of apple to emerald green, bright<br />

gold to icy blue. The community is equally colourful,<br />

with a strong Maori heritage and a past filled with goldfevered<br />

settlers and rugged farmers. Glimpses of days<br />

gone by can be seen in Golden Bay’s museum and the<br />

historic graveyards of Clifton and Collingwood. Golden<br />

Bay’s stunning geographic features can be seen in<br />

Kahurangi National Park, Farewell Spit, the Waikoropupu<br />

Springs and the Takaka Hill cave system. Golden Bay<br />

is also renowned for high-energy creative and cultural<br />

events, summer on the beaches and the interesting<br />

townships of Takaka and Collingwood.<br />

Takaka River<br />

Arapeta Pl<br />

Set between river valleys and the region’s famous<br />

beaches, <strong>Motueka</strong> is a town rich in settler history and<br />

indigenous culture. Te Awhina Marae close to town<br />

provides a cultural hub for local Maori and the wider<br />

community. <strong>Motueka</strong> is the gateway to the Abel <strong>Tasman</strong><br />

National Park. From here you can also reach special<br />

places like the source of the Riwaka River, Mt Arthur, the<br />

<strong>Motueka</strong> River and Kaiteriteri Beach. Once known as the<br />

“tobacco town”, <strong>Motueka</strong> now has greater horticultural<br />

diversity, and is home to a large number of cottage and<br />

craft industries.<br />

Richmond<br />

Awa Awa Rd<br />

Our region is famed for sunshine, sand, vineyards,<br />

picturesque countryside and artists’ studios – you’ll find<br />

them all on the Ruby Coast and Moutere Hills, in villages<br />

where the vibe is relaxed and where people have time to<br />

talk. Visit the cafés and boutiques of the lovely seaside<br />

villages of Mapua, Ruby Bay, <strong>Tasman</strong> and Kina. Find<br />

vineyards, orchards, galleries and rural villages in settings<br />

rich in heritage. The coastline near Mapua has become a<br />

highly sought-after residential area. Golden sand gives<br />

way to the stony shore, which changes colour with every<br />

lick of the tide at Ruby Bay. Catch the ferry from Mapua<br />

<strong>Tasman</strong> <strong>District</strong>’s biggest town, Richmond, was once a<br />

major commuter port, connecting the productive lands<br />

of early <strong>Tasman</strong> to the markets of Nelson City. <strong>Tasman</strong><br />

<strong>District</strong> <strong>Council</strong> has its headquarters in Richmond and<br />

each year the main regional Nelson Agricultural &<br />

Pastoral Show is held here. Richmond is now emerging<br />

as a major retail and commercial centre in its own right,<br />

with the advantage of free parking (time limited) and<br />

an excellent modern mall that fronts on to the main<br />

street. The new town centre, Sundial Square, provides a<br />

refuge in the midst of the town, with sculpture, seating<br />

and grassed areas. The town’s promotional group holds<br />

several annual events such as the Richmond Market Day<br />

and Last of the Summer Fare.<br />

<strong>Tasman</strong> <strong>District</strong> Summer Guide 2011/2012<br />

Waimea<br />

From Wakefield to Richmond, the Waimea Plains fan<br />

out to the edge of <strong>Tasman</strong> Bay and the foot of the<br />

Moutere Hills. The area’s rich bounty comes from market<br />

gardening, dairying, apples, sheep and beef. It is also a<br />

favoured area for nurseries, vineyards and art and craft<br />

galleries. The area is fast becoming one of New Zealand’s<br />

leading wine growing areas. Those in search of a summer<br />

splash will find plenty of fresh-water options in the rivers<br />

running through the Wairoa and Aniseed Valleys. If it’s<br />

the beach you want, they don’t come much bigger than<br />

the seven-kilometre stretch of Rabbit Island (Moturoa).<br />

This fabulous beach offers safe swimming as well as<br />

picnic and Wai-iti barbecue spots among shady pine trees.<br />

River Bank<br />

Reserve<br />

Tadmor River<br />

Lakes/Murchison<br />

From Tapawera to St Arnaud, Frog Flat to Murchison, the<br />

landscape of this largely rural area is raw and dramatic.<br />

Fields, forests, farms, rivers, mountains and valleys are<br />

interrupted by small settlements, country pubs and craft<br />

galleries. It is the isolation of southern <strong>Tasman</strong> that is<br />

attracting more and more domestic and overseas visitors,<br />

lured by its reputation for great trout fishing and back<br />

country hunting. The power of nature is equally alluring.<br />

Rafting and kayaking enthusiasts flock to the area every<br />

year to challenge the swift-flowing Buller River. As the<br />

southernmost town, Murchison is a centre for adventure<br />

tourism with businesses geared to visitor enjoyment. The<br />

town’s historic buildings and a great little museum add<br />

to the area’s appeal.<br />

Parks, Reserves & Walkways<br />

<strong>Tasman</strong> <strong>District</strong> <strong>Council</strong> manages a wide range of parks and reserves throughout the <strong>District</strong>,<br />

including recreation reserves and beach and river reserves. Here are a few of the most popular spots.<br />

For a full list please visit our website www.tasman.govt.nz/recreation/parks-reserves/<br />

Popular Parks & Reserves<br />

Golden Bay<br />

Lake Killarney Reserve, Takaka<br />

Location: Lake Killarney can be accessed off Commercial<br />

Street and Lake Crescent in Takaka.<br />

The reserve stands as a dividing point between the<br />

residential sections and the rural land to the east and now<br />

provides an important open water habitat for wildlife.<br />

Swimming is not allowed in the lake.<br />

Around the lake are plantings of raupo, willow, mahoe<br />

and ti tree. Kahikatea and totara have also been planted<br />

in the area.<br />

<strong>Motueka</strong><br />

Alex Ryder Reserve, Little Kaiteriteri<br />

Location: Access from Rowling Road, Little Kaiteriteri<br />

Alex Ryder Reserve is next to the area known as Little<br />

Kaiteriteri Beach. It is a popular area for swimming and<br />

recreation. Near the busy Kaiteriteri Beach, it is the perfect<br />

spot to experience the quieter side of Kaiteriteri.<br />

There are grassed areas with picnic tables, ideal for family<br />

gatherings, a road leading to a parking area with beach<br />

access and toilets and changing facilities.<br />

Decks Reserve –<br />

Kiyosato Gardens, <strong>Motueka</strong><br />

Location: Decks Reserve is situated in the heart of <strong>Motueka</strong><br />

between Wallace and Greenwood Streets.<br />

A path that encircles the green space links the play area at the<br />

western end with the picnic area and the Kiyosato Japanese<br />

Gardens that have been a stunning feature of the reserve since<br />

2001. The large field in the centre is a popular spot for informal<br />

sports like a game of touch rugby or family cricket.<br />

Facilities include public toilets, a playground and picnic<br />

areas. It is next to a carpark servicing the business area<br />

of <strong>Motueka</strong>.<br />

Thorp Bush, <strong>Motueka</strong><br />

Location: Thorp Bush can be accessed off Woodlands<br />

Ave and Avalon Court. It also gives access to a walkway<br />

along Woodlands Drain to Goodman Recreation Park and<br />

<strong>Motueka</strong> Recreation Centre on Old Wharf Road<br />

Thorp Bush is a large reserve situated just south of the<br />

central business area of <strong>Motueka</strong>. It supports the largest<br />

remnant of the lowland podocarp-hardwood forest<br />

that formerly covered the fertile <strong>Motueka</strong> Plain. It has<br />

considerable conservation and recreation value.<br />

The large number of trees provide ample shade even<br />

on the hottest days and there are picnic tables, toilet<br />

facilities and an exciting adventure playground. Thorp<br />

Bush has a number of flat, well maintained walking tracks<br />

meandering through the trees and you’ll see and hear a<br />

variety of bird life.<br />

<strong>Tasman</strong> <strong>District</strong> Summer Guide 2011/2012<br />

Waimea<br />

Faulkner Bush, Wakefield<br />

Location: Just south of Wakefield Village on the State<br />

Highway. The reserve can also be accessed from Hunt<br />

Terrace and Treeton Place.<br />

Faulkner Bush covers about 17 hectares and it incorporates<br />

the Waikari Reserve. Faulkner Bush is one of the very few<br />

remaining areas of podocarp forest that once covered the<br />

Waimea Plains. A younger forest of totara, black beech,<br />

mahoe and kanuka backs the tall and stately kahikatea and<br />

matai on the front terrace. Easily accessible walking tracks<br />

encourage you to take a stroll through the tranquil bush<br />

listening to the calls of tui and bellbirds and looking at lush<br />

vegetation. For the more energetic, the upper terrace track<br />

leads to a lookout with great views of the surrounding land<br />

and across Waimea Inlet to Nelson City.<br />

The Wakefield Bush Restoration Society is heavily involved<br />

in the maintenance of the reserve and holds regular<br />

plantings and weeding bees.<br />

Twin Bridges Reserve, Aniseed Valley<br />

Location: The turnoff to Aniseed Valley Road is off Main<br />

Road Hope just south of Richmond<br />

Twin Bridges is an attractive reserve located on the inside<br />

of a bend of the Roding River several kilometres up the<br />

Aniseed Valley Road. It is a very popular picnicking and<br />

swimming spot in the summer months. Facilities include a<br />

gas barbeque and toilets.<br />

Lee Valley Reserve, Lee Valley<br />

Location: Lee Valley is accessed off River Terrace Road at<br />

the turnoff to Brightwater on the State Highway.<br />

Rabbit Island (Moturoa), Richmond<br />

Location: From Richmond, take the Coastal Highway<br />

towards <strong>Motueka</strong>. The turnoff to Rabbit Island is on the<br />

right just past Seifrieds Vineyard.<br />

Rabbit Island (Moturoa) is the largest of a group of sandy<br />

islands lying in the Waimea Estuary at the head of <strong>Tasman</strong><br />

Bay, 15 minutes drive from Richmond. Along its seaward<br />

side there is more than eight kilometres of safe sandy<br />

beach. This is the largest picnic area in the district.<br />

Much of the island is covered in pine plantations owned<br />

by the <strong>Tasman</strong> <strong>District</strong> <strong>Council</strong>. The <strong>Council</strong> has set aside a<br />

large area of land adjacent to the beach as a public reserve.<br />

Watersports – The main beach at Rabbit Island is a safe<br />

swimming location, popular with locals and tourists. Rough<br />

Island has 2 boat ramps and a water skiing area. Both areas<br />

are monitored as part of the Swimming Water Quality<br />

monitoring programme.<br />

Cycling – A new cycleway has been formed as part of<br />

<strong>Tasman</strong>’s Great Taste Trail, see page 10.<br />

Walking – There is a perimeter road just above the beach<br />

around most of the island, popular with local walking<br />

groups. The public are not permitted to enter the forestry<br />

plantations during working hours.<br />

Wildlife – The tidal waters also provide sustenance for<br />

many different sea birds. These include the white heron,<br />

royal spoonbill, shags and oyster catchers.<br />

Fishing – The area around the Rabbit Island bridge is a<br />

popular spot for white-baiters, while surf-casting can be<br />

productive from the front beach.<br />

The Lee Valley Reserve is the first reserve you come to<br />

along the Lee Valley Road. It is a popular swimming and<br />

picnicking area in the summer months. It has toilets.<br />

Popular Walkways<br />

Golden Bay<br />

Selwyn Street<br />

Walkway Pohara<br />

This esplanade walkway and<br />

cycleway links Pohara with Clifton<br />

Reserve and The Golf Course. It also<br />

links onto the roadside walkway<br />

that leads to Ligar Bay. The walkway<br />

features a boardwalk which takes<br />

you through a wetland area and<br />

the roadway that leads to Clifton<br />

Historical Cemetery. Picnic tables<br />

and access to the beach at Pohara<br />

make this a pleasant place to visit.<br />

<strong>Motueka</strong><br />

Inlet Walkway<br />

<strong>Motueka</strong><br />

The Inlet walkway can be accessed<br />

off Wharf Road, Old Wharf Road and<br />

Courtney Street East. It has been<br />

constructed by the volunteer group<br />

Keep <strong>Motueka</strong> Beautiful. This area<br />

was once a sawdust dump site and<br />

over the last six years it has been<br />

transformed with plantings and seats<br />

so you can take time to rest and enjoy<br />

the stunning views of the estuary<br />

and mountains. The Inlet walkway is<br />

close to other walkways in <strong>Motueka</strong><br />

and will soon be linked to an off-road<br />

walkway/cycleway along Wharf Road.<br />

Richmond<br />

Estuary Walkway<br />

Richmond<br />

This walkway and cycleway skirts<br />

the edge of the Waimea Estuary at<br />

Richmond. It links off the cycleway<br />

from Nelson. It is a popular area<br />

for walking and cycling and will<br />

make up part of <strong>Tasman</strong>’s Great<br />

Taste Trail, which is currently under<br />

construction. Sandeman Reserve<br />

can be accessed from the walkway<br />

and has been transformed into a<br />

beautiful native re-vegetation area<br />

with seats to enjoy the stunning<br />

estuarine views and wildlife.<br />

<strong>Tasman</strong> <strong>District</strong> Summer Guide 2011/2012<br />

Bike <strong>Tasman</strong><br />

<strong>Tasman</strong> <strong>District</strong> is home to world class cycle trails suited to all types of riding – from<br />

the Kaiteriteri Mountain Bike park with its perfectly sculpted single track and downhill<br />

trails to <strong>Tasman</strong>’s Great Taste Trail, a purpose-built family-friendly cycle trail that is part of<br />

the National Cycleway development and suitable for all ages and skill levels.<br />

<strong>Tasman</strong>’s Great Taste Trail<br />

Starting at Nelson Airport, <strong>Tasman</strong>’s Great Taste Trail is a purpose-built off-road<br />

cycle trail designed to be enjoyed by all age groups, fitness and skill levels. The<br />

trail currently runs through Richmond, Rabbit Island and crosses to Mapua via a<br />

purpose-built ferry. From Mapua the trail continues on towards <strong>Motueka</strong>. Once<br />

completed (approx. 2014) the trail will run in a 170km loop past <strong>Motueka</strong> and<br />

through Tapawera before returning to Richmond via Wakefield and Brightwater. As<br />

part of Nga Haerenga, The New Zealand Cycle Trail, the standard of the trail is first<br />

class. For more information go to www.heartofbiking.org.nz<br />

Mountain Biking Trails - a few highlights<br />

Golden Bay<br />

Rameka Track/Cannan Downs<br />

Directions: Follow highway SH 60 up Takaka Hill and follow<br />

take the turnoff to Harwood’s Hole.<br />

Description: 2 + hours. Moderate fitness and intermediate<br />

technical skills required. The Rameka track is included in the<br />

101 Must-Do’s for Kiwis complied by the AA to showcase<br />

the best New Zealand attractions. This is an excellent ride<br />

with great views. It is mainly downhill and mildly technical.<br />

It will suit those who have some experience of mountain<br />

biking, and particularly single track riding. The ride starts<br />

at around 800 metres, (3000ft) and it can be cold, although<br />

the ride itself is relatively sheltered, in tall native bush.<br />

We suggest that apart from your normal riding clothing<br />

you should have a polypropylene or wool t-shirt and a<br />

windbreaker.<br />

The Information centres in <strong>Motueka</strong> and Takaka will be able<br />

to provide information on buses that can drop you and your<br />

bike at the turnoff. If the logistics of getting back to the car<br />

are too much, there is great riding that also starts at the<br />

Harwards Hole carpark on the Canaan Downs tracks.<br />

Kill Devil<br />

Directions: Kill Devil Track is accessed from Uruwhenua,<br />

west of Upper Takaka. From Nelson cross the Takaka Hill and<br />

just after crossing the Takaka River at Lindsays Bridge turn<br />

left on to Uruwhenua Rd. 2.8km along the road there is a<br />

small DoC sign with Kill Devil Track pointing right to what<br />

looks a bit like a cow race.<br />

Description: 5-8 hours. Moderate fitness. The track is an<br />

old graded pack track that zig-zags up Kill Devil Spur on<br />

to the Lockett Range. The grade is easy and most of it can<br />

be ridden, but there are something like 57 switchbacks<br />

packed into the 800m climb to the ridge, some of which are<br />

quite tricky. The climb takes one and a half to two hours for<br />

reasonably fit riders. The turnoff to Riordans Hut is about<br />

one and a half hours along the ridge. You have to carry your<br />

bike for the first hundred metres of the track to the hut, but<br />

the rest of the way is rideable. The ride back along the ridge<br />

is technical in places but not difficult. Heaps of fun, and the<br />

switchbacks are challenging in places but rideable.<br />

10

Information<br />

<strong>Motueka</strong><br />

Kaiteriteri Mountain Bike Park<br />

Directions: The Kaiteriteri Mountain Bike Park is 13km from<br />

<strong>Motueka</strong>. From <strong>Motueka</strong>, head towards Kaiteriteri Beach<br />

and take the turnoff to the left at the bottom of Kaiteriteri<br />

Hill towards Kimi Ora.<br />

Description: 1+ hours (as long as you want as there is an<br />

extensive choice of tracks that cater for all abilities). Kaiteriteri<br />

Mountain Bike Park is set in a mix of pine and native forest in<br />

180 hectares of land bordering the holiday beach settlement<br />

of Kaiteriteri. The park includes a “Pump Track”, a number of<br />

long easy trails, and several challenging ridge runs. There is a<br />

good map at the start of the trails.<br />

Waimea<br />

Rabbit Island – <strong>Tasman</strong>’s Great Taste Trail<br />

(see page 10) and Conifer Park<br />

Directions: From Richmond, head towards Rabbit Island.<br />

The start of the tracks are accessed from the end of Cooper<br />

Road. Turn left onto Cooper Road at the end of Ken Beck<br />

Drive. Follow this, passing three turnoffs to the right, at<br />

which point the road becomes gravel. Continue straight<br />

ahead on the gravel road until you reach the forest gate,<br />

turn right towards the front beach to the car parking and<br />

entrance gate 30 metres on your left.<br />

Description: A 2km formed Mountain Bike Track for<br />

beginners and junior riders. A series of Mountain Bike<br />

Tracks have been developed at Conifer Park aimed a junior<br />

and beginner riders. The tracks provide a good range of<br />

undulations, small drop-offs, turns and twists and to keep<br />

it interesting, pinecone obstacles. The tracks run just over<br />

2km with 4 loops on offer.<br />

The Hackett<br />

Directions: 5 km south of Richmond on SH6, turn left<br />

and follow Aniseed Valley Rd over the hill to the Hackett<br />

picnic area.<br />

Description: 1 - 1.5 hours. Moderate fitness, some technical<br />

skills required. A good single track introduction. A wooden<br />

footbridge crosses the Roding River and follows the Hackett<br />

stream up the valley. About 10 minutes up the valley the<br />

track crosses a swing bridge and shortly after the single<br />

track begins as you enter native bush. You can take a detour<br />

to Whispering Falls or continue on to Browning Hut.<br />

The Mountain Bikers’ Code<br />

1. Ride mountain bike and multi-use tracks only. If riding in forest or<br />

private land ask permission from land owners before heading out.<br />

2. Respect other users; always give way to walkers.<br />

3. Leave no trace, never skid or drop rubbish.<br />

4. Keep your bicycle under control.<br />

5. Never spook animals and leave gates as you find them.<br />

<strong>Tasman</strong> <strong>District</strong> Summer Guide 2011/2012<br />

Dog Exercise Areas in <strong>Tasman</strong> <strong>District</strong><br />

Often it can be confusing for dog owners to know where you can exercise your dog. This information<br />

is designed to help you work out where you can and cannot take your dog and where you must use<br />

the leash. Certain areas have been designated as Dog Prohibited areas by <strong>Council</strong> and entry to these<br />

areas with your dog is strictly forbidden.<br />

There are many places within <strong>Tasman</strong> <strong>District</strong> to exercise your<br />

dog, both on and off the leash. There are designated areas<br />

specifically for dogs to be able to run free and socialise with other<br />

dogs. In all other areas, unless Dog Prohibited Areas, dogs must<br />

be under “effective control” which means your dog MUST respond<br />

to your commands at all times. This includes voice commands,<br />

whistles, hand signals as well as leash control.<br />

Dogs may be exercised on <strong>Council</strong> owned reserves, unless they are<br />

designated as prohibited areas. <strong>Council</strong> does, however, expect you<br />

to respect the rights of other users of the reserves by keeping your<br />

dog under effective control at all times. You must always carry a<br />

leash with you while you and your dog are out.<br />

You must observe a<br />

few basic rules while<br />

out with your dog:<br />

• Dog faeces must be removed<br />

immediately and hygienically<br />

disposed of. Doggie Doo<br />

bags are available free<br />

of charge from all <strong>Council</strong><br />

Offices and in dispensers<br />

around the district.<br />

• Your dog must respond<br />

to voice commands, hand<br />

signals or other effective<br />

means of control, when off<br />

the leash.<br />

• Your dog must be<br />

kept on a leash in any<br />

circumstances where it<br />

may injure, endanger, or<br />

cause distress to any stock,<br />

poultry, domestic animal or<br />

protected wildlife.<br />

Note: The <strong>Tasman</strong> <strong>District</strong> <strong>Council</strong> Dog Control Bylaw requires that the owner of a dog maintains effective control at all times,<br />

and complies with the need to put dogs on a leash when in the presence of protected wildlife. The Dog Control Act 1996 (section 58)<br />

provides that the owner of any dog that kills protected wildlife is liable on conviction to imprisonment for a term not exceeding<br />

3 years or a fine not exceeding $20,000, or both, and that the dog may be destroyed.<br />

Godwits (Kuaka)<br />

Godwits (Kuaka) are large brown wading birds who visit our<br />

shores every year, travelling long distances to get here in<br />

time for our summer. Godwits breed and feed in the 24-hour<br />

daylight of the Alaskan summer before undertaking a record<br />

non-stop migratory flight south to New Zealand’s coastline.<br />

Godwits arrive in September and leave late in February to<br />

early March. During this time they feed and roost in several<br />

areas in <strong>Tasman</strong> <strong>District</strong>, notably the <strong>Motueka</strong> Sandspit.<br />

Godwits must be well rested and in peak condition in<br />

order to survive their return flight. If not they will die from<br />

exhaustion at sea. They need our respect and co-operation<br />

for this to happen.<br />

Godwits roost on the beach at high tide and walkers<br />

and dogs can easily distress these birds at these times.<br />

Please ensure that dogs are on leashes around the areas<br />

the Godwits, or any other birds, are roosting. Give the<br />

Godwits plenty of room so that<br />

they feel safe.<br />

If you see a dog<br />

chasing a Godwit,<br />

or any other wildlife, please<br />

report it to the <strong>Tasman</strong> <strong>District</strong><br />

<strong>Council</strong>, who will inform their<br />

Animal Control Officers.<br />

Freedom Camping<br />

Freedom camping is the common term<br />

for camping at locations without specific<br />

camping amenities such as toilets, showers<br />

and cooking facilities.<br />

<strong>Council</strong> encourages all travellers and<br />

campers to use camping grounds and other<br />

accommodation as often as possible. This is as<br />

much for the personal safety of travellers as for<br />

the protection of our environment. However,<br />

<strong>Council</strong> recognises that some visitors to our<br />

district choose to travel and stay in their own<br />

self-contained vehicles, not at registered<br />

camping grounds. The following information<br />

provides a brief overview of the rules and<br />

regulations around freedom camping within<br />

the <strong>Tasman</strong> <strong>District</strong>.<br />

Who can freedom camp?<br />

On <strong>Council</strong>-controlled land, freedom camping is only allowed<br />

for mobile vehicles certified as self-contained with an installed<br />

self-contained toilet and at least three days’ storage capacity for<br />

drinking water, toilet waste and grey water.<br />

Who cannot freedom camp?<br />

On <strong>Council</strong>-controlled land, people in tents, or vehicles that are<br />

not certified as self-contained may not freedom camp and are<br />

requested to stay in camping grounds.<br />

Where is freedom<br />

camping permitted?<br />

Campers in certified self-contained vehicles may camp at:<br />

• The car park at the north end of Fittal Street, Richmond.<br />

• Edward Baigent Memorial Reserve,<br />

8 Wakefield-Kohatu Highway.<br />

• <strong>Motueka</strong> Beach Reserve, 10 Everett Street, <strong>Motueka</strong>.<br />

• On road reserves in rural areas.<br />

• On certain Dept of Conservation land: see<br />

www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/places-to-stay/<br />

conservation-campsites-by-region/<br />

How long can people freedom<br />

camp in one location?<br />

People can only camp in one location for two nights out of every<br />

four weeks. After that, they must move at least one kilometre<br />

away from their original campsite.<br />

Where is freedom<br />

camping prohibited?<br />

Freedom camping is prohibited on the following<br />

public places:<br />

1. Within 500 metres of any “No Camping” signs on <strong>Council</strong>controlled<br />

land.<br />

2. Kaiteriteri Beach area from Tapu Bay to Breaker Bay.<br />

3. Any <strong>Tasman</strong> <strong>District</strong> <strong>Council</strong> reserve (apart from road reserve)<br />

in any area, except for Edward Baigent Memorial Reserve and<br />

<strong>Motueka</strong> Beach Reserve.<br />

4. Marahau from the start of the residential area to the end of<br />

the Marahau-Sandy Bay Road.<br />

5. The riverside of any stopbank except that area in the vicinity<br />

of the State Highway bridge at Waitapu, Golden Bay.<br />

6. Any formed roadway.<br />

Freedom Camping Bylaw<br />

The <strong>Tasman</strong> <strong>District</strong> <strong>Council</strong> passed a Freedom Camping Bylaw on Thursday 19 May 2011. Coming into effect on 31 May 2011,<br />

the bylaw has been established as a response to public demand for controls and enforcement surrounding the well-publicised<br />

problems caused by a small minority of freedom campers throughout the <strong>District</strong>.<br />

Freedom Camping – The Law<br />

The Freedom Camping Act was passed into law in Parliament on 17 August 2011. The Act gives councils and the Conservation<br />

Department powers to give out instant fines of $200 for illegal camping, or court-imposed fines up to $10,000 for dumping<br />

human waste, and also to decide where camping is allowed. <strong>Tasman</strong> <strong>District</strong> <strong>Council</strong> officers have the power to request that<br />

campers move on. Campers who fail to follow a directive to move on from a <strong>Council</strong> officer commit an offence under the Act.<br />

The Act and the detail around what is classed as an ‘offence’ can be found at www.tasman.govt.nz/link/freedomcamping<br />

Kahurangi National Park<br />

Created in 1996, Kahurangi is one of New Zealand’s newest<br />

national parks, and at 452,002 hectares it is also the second<br />

largest. Translated, its name has a number of meanings<br />

including ‘treasured possession’, an apt description of its<br />

wonderfully diverse natural and recreational values. In<br />

places it is an untracked wilderness, elsewhere a wonderful<br />

network of tracks lets you explore wild rivers, high plateaux<br />

and alpine herbfields, and coastal forests. Kahurangi is<br />

in the northwest corner of New Zealand’s South Island.<br />

<strong>Motueka</strong>, Takaka, Karamea, Tapawera and Murchison are<br />

the park’s gateway towns.<br />

Tracks and walks<br />

There are more than 570 kilometres of walking and<br />

tramping tracks in the park. The more popular longer walks<br />

include the Heaphy Track (one of New Zealand’s Great<br />

Walks) and the Wangapeka Track. Major Tracks include<br />

Heaphy Track: 78.4km, the longest of the DOC Great Walks.<br />

The track crosses expansive tussock downs, lush forests and<br />

stunning coastline.<br />

Leslie-Karamea Track: This track in the heart of the park<br />

gives a true backcountry experience for trampers, hunters<br />

and fishers.<br />

Matiri Valley & 1000 Acre Plateau: It’s a 3 hour walk to<br />

Lake Matiri. From there, you can do overnight tramps to<br />

1000 Acre Plateau.<br />

Mount Arthur Tableland Circuit: This moderately difficult<br />

tramp runs through limestone and marble country of the<br />

Mount Arthur Tableland<br />

Wangapeka Track: It’s a 59km, 4-6 day moderately<br />

difficult tramp.<br />

Short walks are available at most road ends. Kahurangi also<br />

contains the <strong>Tasman</strong> Wilderness Area. Vast, untracked and<br />

without huts, it is suitable for experienced trampers.<br />

Other activities<br />

Rafting and kayaking: Remote, wild rivers are a feature of<br />

Kahurangi. Most are suitable for experienced kayakers only.<br />

Commercial rafting tours are available.<br />

Fishing: The Karamea River is prized internationally for its<br />

trout fishing.<br />

Caving: Some of the deepest caves in the world have been<br />

found in Kahurangi but they are not for the inexperienced.<br />

Places to stay<br />

There are 49 huts and four vehicle-accessible campsites in<br />

Kahurangi National Park. A wide variety of accommodation<br />

is also available in the nearby towns, from backpackers<br />

to luxury lodges. Heaphy Track huts must be booked in<br />

advance. Bookings can be made online or by post, fax,<br />

email, phone or in person at some offices.<br />

<strong>Tasman</strong> <strong>District</strong> Summer Guide 2011/2012<br />

Abel <strong>Tasman</strong> National Park<br />

Abel <strong>Tasman</strong> National Park is renowned for its golden<br />

beaches, sculptured granite cliffs and world-famous<br />

coast track. At 22,530 hectares, Abel <strong>Tasman</strong> is New<br />

Zealand’s smallest national park. The closest towns are<br />

<strong>Motueka</strong> and Takaka.<br />

Tracks and Walks<br />

There are two options for those with a few days to spare<br />

and the desire to explore: the Coast Track and the Inland<br />

Track through the hilly centre of the park. The Coast Track is<br />

the easier and is one of New Zealand’s Great Walks.<br />

Several short walks are available around the road ends. You<br />

can also take advantage of the water transport service, which<br />

can drop you off part way along the coast. Sailing, boating<br />

and sea kayaking are also popular ways to see the park.<br />

Places to stay<br />

There are seven huts in the park - four along the Coast Track<br />

and three on the inland track. There are also 19 campsites with<br />

a water supply and toilets on the Coast Track. All Coast Track<br />

huts and campsites must be booked, all year round. Bookings<br />

can be made online or by post, fax, email, phone or in person<br />

at some offices. At Totaranui there’s a campground with basic<br />

facilities – toilets and cold showers but no power. Bookings<br />

are required in summer. There is also an education centre<br />

accommodating 40. Backpacker accommodation, motels,<br />

lodges and B&Bs are available in the towns near the park.<br />

Nelson Lakes National Park<br />

Nelson Lakes National Park (established in 1956) is situated<br />

in the north of New Zealand’s South Island. This park protects<br />

102,000 hectares of the northern-most Southern Alps. The<br />

park offers tranquil beech forest, craggy mountains, clear<br />

streams and lakes both big and small.<br />

Location: The gateway to the park is St Arnaud, a 1-2 hour<br />

drive from Nelson or Blenheim.<br />

Tracks and walks<br />

There are networks of short tracks exploring the forest, lake<br />

shore and glacial features of both lakes. Longer walks and<br />

alpine tramping trips are also available. The most popular are<br />

the Travers - Sabine Circuit and the trip up to Lake Angelus, a<br />

beautiful alpine lake. In summer these tracks are suitable for<br />

parties of average fitness and skill, in winter more experience<br />

is required. Popular walks include<br />

Angelus Hut: Angelus Hut tracks and routes. Angelus, at<br />

1650 metres, is perched high on the ranges between Lakes<br />

Rotoiti and Rotoroa in Nelson Lakes National Park.<br />

Lake Rotoiti walking tracks: There are a number of<br />

different short walks around the lake ranging from 15 mins<br />

to an hour and a half. Explore the Rotoiti Nature Recovery<br />

Project. The wheelchair-accessible Bellbird Walk leads into<br />

Honeydew Walk.<br />

Flower Brothers Walk: From Lake Rotoroa car park, this<br />

track passes through a stand of kahikatea and around the<br />

lake outlet, emerging on the road near Lake Rotoroa Lodge.<br />

Travers-Sabine Circuit: The Travers-Sabine Circuit is a<br />

medium to hard tramp traversing 80 km of river valleys and<br />

an alpine pass in Nelson Lakes National Park.<br />

Places to stay<br />

There are a number of backcountry huts in the park linked<br />

by a network of tracks.There are two DOC camping sites at St<br />

Arnaud as well as private motels and holiday cottages. At Lake<br />

Stay safe on the water this summer.<br />

Navigation Safety Bylaw<br />

The Navigation Safety Bylaw governs rules for boaties and other<br />

waterway users in <strong>Tasman</strong> <strong>District</strong> and covers all of the waters<br />

in the region, including lakes and rivers. A copy of the Bylaw,<br />

together with more safe boating advice is available from <strong>Council</strong><br />

offices or on <strong>Council</strong>’s website www.tasman.govt.nz.<br />

Harbourmaster<br />

<strong>Council</strong> has a Harbourmaster who is responsible for navigation<br />

safety within <strong>Tasman</strong> <strong>District</strong> and is available to give advice on<br />

boating-related issues. The Harbourmaster is Steve Hainstock and<br />

he can be contacted at <strong>Tasman</strong> <strong>District</strong> <strong>Council</strong>’s Richmond office,<br />

or email harbourmaster@tasman.govt.nz.<br />

www.adventuresmart.org.nz<br />

Boating and Education Courses<br />

Inexperienced boaties are encouraged to take a Coastguard<br />

Boating Education course. Visit Coastguard Boating Education’s<br />

website – www.cbes.org.nz for more information.<br />

Boating and Watersports in<br />

<strong>Tasman</strong> <strong>District</strong> Brochure<br />

Copies of this brochure are available from the main boat launching<br />

ramps and <strong>Tasman</strong> <strong>District</strong> <strong>Council</strong> offices. These are available free<br />

from early December each year and include handy tide tables.<br />

Basic Boating Rules<br />

Unless lawfully using an access lane or reserved area, boats within<br />

200m of shore, a structure or a diver’s blue and white flag, or<br />

within 50m of a person in the water or any other vessel, must not<br />

travel faster than 5 knots (about 9 kph).<br />

Movement through ski access lanes and reserved areas by vessels<br />

should be anti-clockwise, ie keep to starboard. It takes three to<br />

ski – carry an observer.<br />

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO<br />

The Boating Safety<br />

CODE<br />

The collision prevention rules apply in all areas including ski lanes. If<br />

close to a collision course with another vessel, the give way vessel<br />

should stop or alter course to starboard (right) to avoid collision.<br />

Before you go boating on our seas, lakes<br />

and rivers, get familiar with New Zealand’s<br />

Boating Safety Code, no matter what kind<br />

of boat you use.<br />

1<br />

2<br />

3<br />

Life jackets<br />

Take them – Wear them.<br />

Boats, especially ones under 6m in<br />

length, can sink very quickly. Wearing<br />

a life jacket increases your survival<br />

time in the water.<br />

Skipper responsibility<br />

The skipper is responsible for the<br />

safety of everyone on board and for<br />

the safe operation of the boat. Stay<br />

within the limits of your vessel and<br />

your experience.<br />

Communications<br />

Take two separate waterproof ways<br />

of communicating so we can help<br />

you if you get into difficulties.<br />

5<br />

simple<br />

4<br />

5<br />

rules<br />

to help you stay safe:<br />

Marine weather<br />

New Zealand’s weather can be highly<br />

unpredictable. Check the local marine<br />

weather forecast before you go and<br />

expect both weather and sea state<br />

changes.<br />

Avoid alcohol<br />

Safe boating and alcohol do not mix.<br />

Things can change quickly on the<br />

water. You need to stay alert and<br />

aware.<br />

<strong>Tasman</strong> <strong>District</strong> Summer Guide 2011/2012<br />

Kayaking<br />

• New kayakers should seek training in the type of kayak and<br />

waters you intend to enjoy. Joining a club is a great way to<br />

gain experience.<br />

• All kayakers should wear a correctly fitted lifejacket at all times.<br />

• Within the 200m from shore 5-knot zone is the safest place to be.<br />

• Kayaks can be difficult to see on a bright or choppy day.<br />

Paddles and kayaks that contrast with the marine environment<br />

are recommended.<br />

• Avoid using sit-on-top kayaks if the breeze is blowing offshore.<br />

Always check the forecast.<br />

Remember to wear an<br />

appropriate lifejacket at all times<br />

<strong>Tasman</strong> <strong>District</strong> Summer Guide 2011/2012<br />

Golden Bay Guide<br />

From the long, shallow, tidal<br />

beaches of Pohara, Parapara and<br />

Pakawau, to the golden curve of<br />

sand fringed by green bush at<br />

Totaranui and Tata, or the wild<br />

surf and wind-streaked dunes<br />

of Wharariki, Golden Bay has<br />

a beach to suit every mood. In<br />

summer, the Bay buzzes with<br />

beach events, music and families<br />

relaxing in the joy of the season.<br />

Baches fill with visitors delighted<br />

to call the Bay their summer home,<br />

and boats with eager skippers<br />

take to the water for fun and<br />

fishing. The attractive coastline<br />

draws thousands of visitors every<br />

year, trebling the population<br />

during summer.<br />

The landscape is just as captivating inland, with<br />

some of the country’s oldest geology. Stories of an<br />

ancient past are revealed in rocks embedded with<br />

fossils, and karst rock formations were made famous<br />

in the Lord of the Rings film trilogy. New Zealand’s<br />

largest freshwater spring is a must-do. Soak up a little<br />

history by exploring intriguing Maori legends, visit<br />

the museum at Takaka and the site of the earliest<br />

landing by European explorers.<br />

But the magic of Golden Bay is just as much about its<br />

residents, who have a real enthusiasm to live, build,<br />

grow and create in harmony with the environment.<br />

Cafés, shops and rural businesses sell organic food<br />

and artists translate environmental textures and<br />

colours into paintings and crafts.<br />

Its attractive<br />

coastline draws<br />

thousands of<br />

visitors every year<br />

<strong>Tasman</strong> <strong>District</strong> Summer Guide 2011/2012<br />

<strong>Motueka</strong> Guide<br />

The rich souls around <strong>Motueka</strong><br />

and balmy climate have nurtured<br />

apples, tobacco and hops<br />

industries. Tourism brings new<br />

life to the town, which is a launchpad<br />

for the activities at Marahau,<br />

Kaiteriteri and Abel <strong>Tasman</strong><br />

National Park.<br />

Today, the variety of businesses has multiplied and a<br />

thriving homestay industry expands from the town<br />

to the coast and beyond to the scenic <strong>Motueka</strong><br />

Valley. Like all areas of coastal <strong>Tasman</strong> district,<br />

this town is growing, despite the many economic<br />

changes it has faced. <strong>Motueka</strong>’s museum is a source<br />

of architectural and social pride and hosts fascinating<br />

exhibitions. An active historical society stores many<br />

great stories from the area.<br />

In the shopping district, drivers toot as they<br />

recognise friends on foot. This is superb peoplewatching<br />

territory. Cradle a coffee and savour the<br />

passing parade.<br />

The <strong>Motueka</strong> River is renowned for big brown trout<br />

and running whitebait. Spring fever here brings dawn<br />

on the riverbanks and secrecy around fishing possies.<br />

The <strong>Motueka</strong> River Valley was once the main highway<br />

to the gold-rich Wangapeka – the former stock route to<br />

valley farms and the road to the railhead at Tapawera.<br />

Today’s road follows the same path, but is now a<br />

highway for forestry trucks and an access route to the<br />

Mt Arthur tablelands. It is also a scenic alternative route<br />

to Tapawera and State Highway 6 to Murchison.<br />

Tourism brings new life to<br />

the town, which is a launchpad<br />

for the activities at<br />

Marahau, Kaiteriteri and<br />

Abel <strong>Tasman</strong> National Park.<br />

Mapua/Moutere<br />

Mapua/Moutere Guide<br />

The soft hills and straight rows<br />

of grapevines of Upper Moutere<br />

tempt comparisons with famed<br />

European landscapes. Once<br />

named Sarau, the area was<br />

settled by Germans – they were<br />

among the first Europeans to<br />

favour this area, bringing with<br />

them hops and an ethic for<br />

hard work.<br />

The village has a Lutheran Church as its centrepiece –<br />

a fine example of traditional European workmanship<br />

melding with native New Zealand timbers. For<br />

modern building excellence, check out the Moutere<br />

Hills Community Centre.<br />

From the Moutere Valley, easy roads that were once<br />

oxcart tracks lead visitors across gentle landscapes<br />

and down into Mapua and Ruby Bay. The Somerset<br />

Settlers’ Cottage in rural Mahana is a quaint reminder<br />

of the past among contemporary houses and farms.<br />

The mix of vineyards, art studios, orchards, eateries and<br />

community clusters make this a postcard countryside.<br />

The coastline beside Mapua has become a coveted<br />

residential area. The township has the Waimea Inlet<br />

at its back. This is the largest estuary in the Southern<br />

Hemisphere and an internationally important<br />

habitat for birds. The community is determined to<br />

maintain Mapua’s special character despite rapid<br />

growth. Enterprise and traditional identity blend<br />

seamlessly at Mapua Wharf, where galleries, bars and<br />

restaurants have become a natural extension of the<br />

wharf and water setting. Catch the ferry across to<br />

Rabbit Island for a growing network of cycle tracks<br />

that will soon form <strong>Tasman</strong>’s Great Taste Trail, linking<br />

Nelson, Richmond, <strong>Motueka</strong> and Kohatu.<br />

The soft hills and straight<br />

rows of grapevines of<br />

Upper Moutere tempt<br />

comparisons with famed<br />

European landscapes<br />

Richmond<br />

Richmond Guide<br />

Richmond is the commercial hub<br />

of <strong>Tasman</strong>. The town, shielded<br />

by high hills to the east, has a<br />

population of about 12,000. It<br />

is home to the region’s largest<br />

shopping mall and a main street<br />

crammed with boutiques, shops<br />

and commercial services. Free<br />

parking (time limited) and friendly<br />

faces give Richmond a rural town<br />

feel with city shopping options.<br />

Sanctuary can be found in its nearby parks and natural<br />

play areas. The new town square boasts sculpture,<br />

grass, seating areas and an outstanding sundial that<br />

gives the square its name. Washbourn Gardens on<br />

Oxford Street is a green and tranquil venue for picnics<br />

and concerts, with plants, walkways and a begonia<br />

house. Rabbit Island (Moturoa) is minutes down the<br />

road. A pine forest, sand dunes and 7km of beach<br />

mean room to move, laze or dip in the safe, shallow<br />

waters of <strong>Tasman</strong> Bay. Sheltered grassy basins are<br />

perfect for impromptu games of cricket or volleyball<br />

after a barbecue picnic in the sun. Take your bike<br />

and check out the cycle trails. From the western end<br />

you can take a short ferry crossing to the swish cafes,<br />

restaurants and shopping of Mapua.<br />

Free parking and<br />

friendly faces<br />

at Richmond Mall<br />

Waimea<br />

Waimea Guide<br />

The Waimea Plains are our foodbasket,<br />

rolling out from the shores<br />

of <strong>Tasman</strong> Bay to the foot of the<br />

Moutere Hills. This is fertile<br />

land where traditional market<br />

gardening, dairying, orchards,<br />

sheep and beef farms all thrive.<br />

The soil and climate support a<br />

strong local economy based on<br />

the quality of its fresh produce.<br />

Local vineyards and olive groves are expanding<br />

as they become recognised internationally for the<br />

quality of their produce. The Waimea Plains are<br />

developing as one of New Zealand’s premium winegrowing<br />

areas. Waimea means “river garden” in Maori<br />

and the sunny climate and light, stony soils make it<br />

perfect for the production of several wine varieties.<br />

After a wine tasting, enjoy a picnic lunch or tea<br />

at one of the vineyards. Take in the thriving rural<br />

communities of Brightwater and Wakefield, the<br />

latter home to one of the prettiest churches around.<br />

From beaches and rivers to vineyards and galleries,<br />

everything you need for a relaxing day out is here.<br />

River swimming, family picnic spots and freshwater<br />

sports are on tap in the scenic Wairoa, Lee and<br />

Aniseed Valleys, or for sunny days at the beach head<br />

to the 7km stretch of Rabbit Island (Moturoa). This<br />

fabulous beach offers safe swimming, picnics and<br />

barbecue sites among the shade of the pine trees.<br />

Local vineyards and olive<br />

groves are expanding as<br />

they become recognised<br />

internationally for the<br />

quality of their produce<br />

<strong>Tasman</strong> <strong>District</strong> Summer Guide 2011/2012<br />

Lakes/Murchison Guide<br />

Fishing, skiing, cycling, tramping,<br />

rafting and extreme kayaking<br />

are favoured pursuits in the<br />

brooding mountains, lush bush<br />

and wild rivers that lace the largest<br />

geographical ward in the <strong>Tasman</strong><br />

<strong>District</strong>. It stretches from Tapawera<br />

across to the Nelson Lakes National<br />

Park, 57km south of Murchison, and<br />

includes Kahurangi National Park.<br />

This area alone accounts for nearly half the area of<br />

<strong>Tasman</strong> <strong>District</strong>. Tucked beneath the highest alpine<br />

ridges are Lakes Rotoiti and Rotoroa, which change<br />

from placid ponds to wind-whipped seas with every<br />

cloud that crosses the sun.<br />

This southern apex of <strong>Tasman</strong> <strong>District</strong> offers escape<br />

to those seeking a break from work and everyday life.<br />

Around the lakes small baches are snuggled among<br />

the trees and the scent of damp native bush drips<br />

from kowhai and beech. Farming is a strong tradition<br />

here. Work doesn’t stop on holidays or rainy days,<br />

which the locals can predict with more accuracy than<br />

modern technology. The role of the area’s rural centre,<br />

Murchison, has changed in recent years. Heritage<br />

buildings have been restored, new cafés emerged, and<br />

the accommodation and tourism trade has flourished<br />

as the town hosts adventurers seeking thrills on the<br />

mighty Buller River. Explore a rich goldmining history<br />

at the town museum, and learn about the earthquake<br />

that tore the hills apart in 1929 – a few of the museum<br />

guides are survivors of the quake.<br />

Lake Rotoiti is a deep<br />

beautiful lake that<br />

reflects the majesty of its<br />

surrounding peaks<br />
