Tahunanui
At the very top of the South Island of New Zealand lies Wharariki Beach, one of the most unspoilt beaches you'll find anywhere in the country and a real highlight on our recent trip up North.

If you make a visit to well known Abel Tasman National Park, be sure to go slightly further north and include a stop at this magnificent part of New Zealand - particularly at sunrise or sunset
