Golden Bay is a popular tourist destination year round with the area being most famous for its golden sandy beaches, sunshine & seafood. It is also a main departure point for tours to Farewell Spit and for trampers walking the Heaphy Track.

Collingwood Tavern was built in 1969 on a peninsular with the Aorere River estuary as a back boundary. The Tavern has stupendous views that overlook Golden Bay and the mountains in the south. This is the place for relaxed living by day and glorious sunsets most evenings. The owners can even go white baiting from their back lawn, and not to forget the scallops.
