NGARUA CELLAR

Set in the hills 30 minutes from Motueka, Ngarua Cave is an interesting stop-off point for discovering a cave with beautiful limestone formations. The three-quarter-hour visit reveals a wealth of beautiful stalactites and stalagmites, and even a moa skeleton! The view over Tasman Bay and the surrounding karst landscape is sublime. You can stay in the small café for a pleasant break. There's also a souvenir store with items made by local artists.
