... Pretty aerial view often described as the "gateway" to Abel Tasman National Park... Marahau is known as a charming, un-commercialized, and laidback rural village with traditional Kiwi baches an iconic, typically small and rustic New Zealand holiday home... Otuwhero Inlet is located at the entrance to Marahau... a peaceful, scenic area with tidal flats and mangrove areas... they are often highlighted for their stunning natural beauty, starting point for Abel Tasman Coastal Track hikes, water taxi departures, and sea kayaking tours... many visitors recommending it as a base for exploring the area... Thanks a lot Sophie! (✿◠‿◠)
Abel Tasman National Park is a national park at the north end of New Zealand's South Island. It covers 237.1 km2 of land between Golden Bay / Mohua and Tasman Bay / Te Tai-o-Aorere, making it the smallest of New Zealand's national parks. In 1942, the area was protected by the Government and named the Abel Tasman National Park.
It is named after Abel Tasman a dutch navigator who in 1642 became the first European explorer to sight New Zealand and who anchored nearby in Golden Bay.
The park is part of the Te Wāhipounamu (South West New Zealand) area of protected wilderness along the west side of the island that was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1990.
