G is for Golden Bay: road tripping South Island



The next phase of our road trip here on the South Island finds us staying at Pohana Beach on Golden Bay. We transitioned from Picton and headed west, the road follows the Queen Charlotte Sound, and then heads across to delightful Nelson where we found good coffee and pastries before venturing into new territory - Tasman Bay and Golden Bay. We drove impressive mountain passes as we passed the Abel Tasman National Park on our way north west.

Every now and again our accommodation totally delights and today was such a day. We have an ensuite cabin that is right on the beach with a magnificent seascape which stretches kilometres. We have landed well, took a gentle walk along the beach noticing the shells and sea lettuce, the Oystercatchers and Godwits and as always the ever changing colour of the sea.
