Tākaka is the main town of Golden Bay, known to Maori as Mohua, tucked over the Tākaka Hill at the top of the South Island. It is a famously creative and alternative community, settled from the 1970s by artists and lifestylers drawn to cheap land and a mild climate, and their galleries and studios line the roads around town. Nearby Te Waikoropupu Springs, the largest cold water springs in the southern hemisphere and deeply sacred to local iwi, hold some of the clearest fresh water ever measured.
