Naked Possum Cafe



As you drive over the Takaka Hill it's like entering another world. The valley stretches north-south for miles with snow peaks in the distance to the west. There is a noticeable difference in pace and style once you reach the small townships which dot the edges of Golden Bay; a mixture of hippies ,farmers and others choosing more organic lifestyles. The Naked Possum Cafe is in inland from Collingwood at the edge of Kahurangi National Park. They have a possum hide tannery, game food and other local produce. You can spend the afternoon listening to a local trio, eating venison sausages cooked by the fire and knocking back a Mussell Inn beer. We were a bit too on-the-move for that so settled for coffee and chocolate mudcake.
