Some of the best West Coast days begin by simply following the road. These are a few places we think are worth making time for.

A wee note on supplies

If you're arriving later in the evening, planning to cook at the house, or simply want to stock up before a day out, New World Hokitika is an easy stop for groceries, picnic bits and road-trip snacks. It's open until 9pm, which can be especially handy if you're checking in later.
