Quintessentially Kiwi
Te Kaha and Waihau Bay are the kind of stops that show why Highway 35 has a cult following - sunlit stretches of sand, locals who’ll yarn with you like they’ve known you for years, and that easy pace where time takes a back seat. Pitch a tent under the stars, chase fish straight off the rocks, or just park up and let the salt and stories sink in - this is the Kiwi coast, unfiltered.
Te Kaha
Te Kaha is where fishing and film collide. Haul dinner straight off the rocks, chase marlin offshore, or watch the swell hammer in against the headlands. It’s also the region of Taika Waititi - name-drop - with his cult classic Boy filmed here, so don’t be surprised if everywhere you look feels like part of the set, full of charm and quirk. For more thrills, the Motu River mouth delivers jet-boat runs, while horse treks take you inland through landscapes as rugged as they are beautiful.

Sheldrake B&B - Whanarua Bay
offers independent travellers a blissful haven from the modern world
WAIHAU BAY
Over the hill at Waihau Bay, the ocean is everything. The warmer currents here bring marlin, tuna and game fish close to shore, making it one of the country’s hotspots for game fishing. The Anglican Church of Raukokore - perched right where the land meets the sea - is a local icon, and the bay itself is as inviting as it gets. Add in the family-favourite campgrounds and the easy charm of the locals, and you’ll see why people keep finding their way back.
