What’s so great about Havelock is green lipped mussels, seafood delicacies, art galleries and an interesting museum narrating the story of saw milling, settlers and pre-European Maori activities.
The historic town is fronted by Victorian era wooden buildings reflecting the brief gold rush in the 19th century. Consider joining a boat cruise exploring the Marlborough Sounds or a fishing charter. A favourite is a trip to a mussel sea farm.
