　　This simple caravan 23km north of town sells fresh cooked and uncooked crays (and is an Instagram favourite). Fishing quotas are in place here to protect local marine life and promote sustainable practices, meaning Nin’s Bin has seasonal operating hours. Expect to pay around $70 for a good-sized crayfish, and check opening times before you visit to avoid disappointment.

Must-see attractions

　　Near the north end of the park, not far from the road, stands mighty Tāne Mahuta, named for the Māori forest god. At 51.5m, with a 13.8m girth and wood mass of 244.5 cu metres, he’s the largest kauri alive, and has been holding court here for somewhere between 1200...

Otara Flea Market

　　Held in the car park between the Manukau Polytech and the Ōtara town centre, this market has a palpable Polynesian atmosphere and is good for South Pacific food, music and fashion. Catch a train on the southern line to Papatoetoe and then switch to a bus to Ōtara. ...

　　Punakaiki's claim to fame is Dolomite Point, where a layering-weathering process called stylobedding has carved the limestone into what looks like piles of thick pancakes. 　　Aim your visit for high tide (tide timetables are posted at the visitor centre, or look them up online). If the swell and wind are...

　　This dramatic headland is where the waters of the Tasman Sea and Pacific Ocean meet, swirling and breaking together into waves up to 10m high in stormy weather. 　　Cape Reinga is the end of the road both literally and figuratively: in Māori tradition the spirits of the dead depart the...

　　A tiny paradise covering only 269 hectares, Ulva Island / Te Wharawhara is a great place to see lots of native birds. Established as a bird sanctuary in 1922, it remains one of Stewart Island/Rakiura’s wildest corners. The island was declared rat-free in 1997 and three years later was chosen...

　　The excellent Waikato Museum has several main areas: an art gallery; interactive science galleries; a Waikato River exhibition; and Tainui galleries housing Māori treasures, including the magnificently carved waka taua (war canoe), Te Winikawaka. The museum also runs a rigorous program of public events. Admission is charged for some displays,...

　　South Island’s true southerly point lies not in Bluff, as many mistakenly believe, but at the end of a 20-minute trudge through a windswept cliff-side sheep paddock. A humble signpost marks this spectacular spot where blackened rocks tumble into turquoise sea while waves smash and swirl below. 　　TreesLocal sheep farmers planted...

Kaikōura Seafood BBQ

　　Conveniently located on the way to the Point Kean Seal Colony, this long-standing roadside barbecue is a great spot to sample local seafood, including crayfish (half from $45), chowder and whitebait fritters. ...

Te Matua Ngahere

　　From the Kauri Walks car park, a 20-minute walk leads past the Four Sisters, a graceful stand of four tall trees fused together at the base, to Te Matua Ngahere (The Father of the Forest). At 30m, he has a significant presence. Reinforced by a substantial girth – he’s the...

Waitangi Treaty Grounds

　　Occupying a headland draped in lawns and bush, this is NZ's most significant historic site. Here, on 6 February 1840, after much discussion, the first 43 Māori chiefs signed the Treaty of Waitangi with the British Crown; eventually, over 500 chiefs would sign it. Admission incorporates a guided tour and...
