Awaroa to Collingwood

We packed our bags and paid the eye-watering lodge bill (we knew it was coming) and walked down to the beach to await the 11:00 am sea shuttle. The boat arrived at 10:30, on its way to the next bay North. The friendly staff invited us to hop aboard and collect our bags when they came back in half an hour heading south to Kaiteriteri. A much better idea than sitting on the beach in light rain.

After visiting several bays we arrived at Kaiteriteri and found our car as we left it. We then drove to Collingwood via the Takaka Hill which was in cloud and one-way for road repairs.

The Station House motel at Collingwood is quaint and historic but close to the 4WD Farewell Spit tour leaving at 06:15 am!
