Today was going to be an easy day. We got away at our usual time and made Motueka and the ISite our first stop. Hopefully we would get some good advice and information that would appeal to us. On our way we had to go over Tanaka Hill once again and we couldn't resist stopping and taking a couple of more pictures.

We were told about a short 2 hour hike in Kaiteriteri that we might enjoy that wouldn't be too strenuous. We had to back track 7 kilometers to the turnoff and then another 17 miles into the village of Little Kaiteriteri. The hike was a little more difficult than we were lead to believe but it enjoyable and presented us with some great scenery.

Upon completion of our two hour hike we drove over to another beach we could see from one of the high points during the hike. The new beach was in the town of Kaiteriteri and right on the main street was a Holiday Park that we didn't know about. It was still early in the day but it was such a nice spot that we decided to check in and just enjoy the rest of the day. We set out our outside table and chairs and enjoyed the sun. This is the view we have from our camper.
Not a bad place to hang out for a few days.
This place is really a gem and we are glad we found it. We learned that the area is solidly booked for the Xmas vacation at least six months in advance. We can see why.
It is also going to give us an opportunity to explore Abel Tasman Park a little more that we thought we could. It was a really good day.
We also got a few pictures of more wildlife (birds) during our hike.
