Lake Mahinapua

It’s Good Friday and time to check out some quiet spots on the West Coast of the South Island, New Zealand. This is Lake Mahinapua, about 9 km south of Hokitika. The area caters for campers and camper vans. A paddle steamer also operates on the waterway. We have been travelling past this spot for 26 years and have never made time to check it out – I’m glad we did so this time – lots of holiday potential here!
