When Bob went to Hahei a couple of weeks
ago, he walked to this beautiful Cathedral Cove.
It is a 2.5 K walk so will take around 40 minutes each way. Take a big bottle of water with you if you
plan to visit Cathedral Cove on a warm day. Bob said people could make money
offering a boat trip back from Cathedral Cove to Hahei or even to Whitinaga.
Good idea but I doubt if it ever happens.
There were a big outcry and protests by locals a few years ago when Department
of Conversation granted a temporary permit to an ice cream stall owner. The
business went well as it was an oasis to many of tired and overheated tourists
but it did not live long because the locals were so against it for fear it would
spoil the beauty of the place.
Bob said that there were a lot of empty
cans and bottles littering the place anyway (as there are in many places in
this country – sometime just a few metres away from the rubbish bin!) If they
had allowed the ice-cream kiosk back then, the entrepreneur would make sure
that the rubbish was collected at the end of the day as he had incentive to
make it pristine – but that is just my humble opinion.
