look at what you’ll see on our food trail guide

Why: We visited for a quintessential kiwi road trip fish and chip stop, to take away and picnic beachside. Hoki, snapper or tarakihi. And a scoop of chips, that’s the classic.
What’s more: You could eat in, but you might be tempted by seaside picnic tables and water views, just across the road.
What else: Enjoy the seabirds, this is the seabird coast of course. And then there’s more driving, up or down the coast. Plenty of regional parks and picnic spots, to continue the road trip stops.
