Onekaka

REFINE SEARCH

The pastoral district of Onekaka lies on the Golden Bay coast, between the towns of Collingwood and Tanaka in the north west of New Zealand’s South Island. Onekaka is a Maori name that means “hot sand” or “hot beach”. The tiny hamlet has a population of only 250 residents, and the main industry is dairy farming. Onekaka is also home to a number of creatives, craftspeople and artisans who are drawn to the lush countryside and appreciate the lack of distractions necessary for their work. They give the community a bohemian vibe. For a laid back dining experience, the Mussel Inn in Onekaka is the place to go. Famous for their namesake steamed fresh mussels (in season) and mussel chowder, they also serve a variety of seafood, steak and vegetarian dishes. All of our Onekaka accommodation options are pre-inspected prior to your arrival and are ready for instant online booking.
