Congratulations: You are now an official ‘Bay Walker’!

Today it may be a little harder to get out of bed, but the smell of freshly brewed coffee and oven baked bread is sure to help.

Our gourmet breakfast buffet (All Inclusive Package) will be served in our panoramic breakfast room at 8.30am and is a real festival of Golden Bay goodies, also the perfect opportunity to share a few of your Bay Walk experiences.

A short slideshow will bring back wonderful memories, and then ‘Le moment supreme’ for today: the official certification of your Bay Walk.

After your ‘Graduation Ceremony’, you are officially one of our ‘Bay Walkers’. But with rights come obligations… so get inspired to write down your walking experience on one of our memorial stones. Your own ‘milestone’ in our entrance hall will keep your personal adventure alive forever and impress friends or family members wanting to follow in your footsteps.

We have arranged a late Suite checkout (11.00am) for our Walking Special, allowing you to enjoy our Lodge facilities for a little longer.

And for those who have booked our All Inclusive Package, the best is yet to come with a pampering relaxation and therapeutic massage in our local Health Spa.

Revitalised and ten years younger… we will shuttle you into the colourful town of Takaka for a meal at one of our cafes; The Roots Bar, Wholemeal Café or even… The Dangerous Kitchen. Now that you have survived our Golden Bay challenges, we will say goodbye one last time at Takaka Airport where you will board a scenic flight to Nelson taking in the beauty of The Bay Walk from the air. A Diamond Experience that is worth every extra dollar!

For other guests, midday will be the time to say goodbye to the Lodge and Pohara, but hopefully with a promise to be back one day!

Would you like to join us for this unforgettable walking adventure? We look forward to meeting you at The Bay Lodge in Pohara! Ka tutaki ano!
