Food Scene
My favourite owner operator restaurant. The Coulter sisters make this feel like a home away from home. Great for happy hour before heading home or to start the night.

Top Cafe Dumpling House
22A Cross StThe best hand made dumplings at a great price.
My favourite local coffee. Roasted on site but sold around the country - if you see it in a local cafe you won't be disappointed. This place is all about coffee, black, white, cow, soy. No fancy, extra flavours. Just coffee. Say hi to Craig. Hours are 7am to midday.

Parks & Nature
Iconic black sand, West Coast beach. Lots of walks and trails around here. Be sure to swim between the flags, the currents can be very dangerous.

My favourite West Coast beach. The filming location for The Piano, the beach is instantly recognisable all these years later. Very popular in summer, but in my opinion, winter is when you see it at its best.
