Tākaka

Few settlements in Tasman have a history as closely tied to the gold rushes of Golden Bay as Takaka. Set beside the Takaka River, the town serves the bay’s rural communities and lies on the route over Takaka Hill to the wider Tasman District. Te Waikoropupū Springs, a short distance away, hold deep significance for Māori and feed the clear waters of the Waikoropupū River. Takaka developed as a mining settlement, while its galleries, cafés and local producers now reflect Golden Bay’s independent character.
