Takaka
A tiny village on the water at the southeastern end of Golden Bay, on New Zealand's South Island, Takaka offers a café and restaurant scene that punches above its size, along with several historic churches. The Takaka River runs through, mountains are visible from town, and State Highway 60 connects the area over Takaka Hill to the Tasman Bay coast.
