Golden Bay is very popular for its beaches, walkways and is a starting point of the well-known Abel Tasman and Heaphy tramping tracks. Its aerodrome serves direct flights to/from Wellington among other destinations. The area is a community of approximately 5,000 with a base of dairy farming, tourism, artists, retirees and young families attracted by the lifestyle and the year-round mild temperate climate.
