ONE of the classic New Zealand holidays simply involves heading along the coast north-west of Nelson, or Whakatū. You journey south-west to begin with, through Stoke and Richmond, which are now suburbs of Nelson/Whakatū, through Hope and Brightwater, as far as the historic town of Wakefield, which has the South Island’s oldest church, St Johns, dating back to the 1840s.
From Wakefield you double back and head on up the coast north westward through Mapua and Motueka on the main road, and then on minor coast roads to Kaiteriteri and Marahau and the beginning of Abel Tasman National Park. This is a really beautiful stretch of rocky coast, sheltered beaches and tidal sandflats, with famous sights to see and things to do such as the Split Apple Rock, the Abel Tasman monument and the Abel Tasman Coastal Track.
And there's more . . .
Even though you are still in the South Island, most of this area is so warm and sheltered that it seems quite subtropical.
