Mārahau
Mārahau is a very small town in the Tasman Region of the South Island of New Zealand, approximately 19 kilometres (12 mi) north of Motueka. Its location on Tasman Bay / Te Tai-o-Aorere and at the southern entrance of Abel Tasman National Park makes it a popular holiday destination for those keen on outdoor activities. People access the Abel Tasman from Mārahau by tramping, kayaking and water taxi.[2] In Mārahau itself, the beach offers sheltered and safe swimming, and horse trekking is popular throughout the busy summer season.[3]
