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 />

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 />
The following are Controlled Dog Exercise<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 />

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 />
