$5 to walk down to see some pretty spectacular caves at low-tide-donation would have been preferable.

Moke Lake Campsite
5.0/5
A gorgeous setting with rolling hills, mountains and lake for swimming/fishing.

Lake Marian Track
4.5/5
It took a bit longer than the 3 hours to complete as there were many slips and boggy patches but well worth the clamber up.
Stunning location with snowy mountains dropping into a crystal clear lake.

Roscos Milford Kayaks
5.0/5
One of the few paid tours that I would say is worth every cent-nothing quite like getting close to the water in this outstanding and unique spot.
Seals, penguins and dolphins.

Port Motueka Beach Reserve
3.5/5
A great spot by the sea and salt baths Very beautiful.
Patrolled excessively by rangers "fun police" If you are not self contained beware. I understand they have had problems, but we were self contained and it felt as though we had no right to be there

The Lost Gypsy Gallery Bus
5.0/5
Blair is a genius.
A free taster of his artistic wizardry in the bus, then $5 to visit the "theatre"-well worth every cent! If you like art you are allowed to touch, this is the place.

Rob Roy Track
5.0/5
A great short walk-one which should has interesting sites all the way through-bush and crashing blue river and the stunning final destination.
Go early in the morning when no-one else is on the track-you might even see an avalanche from the glacier like us.

Pukekura Lodge
4.5/5
If you haven't got a sense of humour and can't take things with a pinch of salt, you won't like it .
The owners like to tell it how it is. A beautiful spot for the van with nice showers and toilet and kitchen access behind the cabins. Loved chatting to the owners about hunting 1080 and environmentalism. Its a travesty that Pete can no longer sell his possum pies due to silly regulations. The place is on its way out due to lack of tourists stopping down the West Coast-a shame because its a fantastic spot among the rainforest.

Curio Bay Penguin Watch
4.0/5
An amazing natural phenomenon next to crashing waves.
The only downer is people getting near to the Yellow-eyed penquins and disturbing them on their way to their nests.
