About Hakahaka, Marlborough

Hakahaka is a locality in the Marlborough Region of New Zealand. It sits at an elevation of around 154 m above sea level. It lies approximately 28 km north-northeast of Blenheim, the regional capital. Hakahaka is located at 41.3000°S, 174.1167°E. It observes New Zealand Time (NZST/NZDT).

Hakahaka rests on a curve of coastline, where the land surrenders to the restless embrace of Hakahaka Bay. It lies 27.6 km north-north-east of Blenheim (from Blenheim: bearing 30°T), and is situated 9.1 km east of Picton. The air here carries the briny tang of the sea, a constant whisper against the rolling hills that tumble towards the water's edge. Patches of native bush cling to the slopes, their dark green a stark contrast to the muted ochre of the dry grasses that carpet the higher ground. The bay itself is a shifting canvas of blues and greys, its surface often ruffled by the persistent sea breeze, the shoreline a mosaic of smooth stones and weathered driftwood.

The lifeblood of Hakahaka has long been tied to the bounty of the sea and the fertile soil. For generations, fishing boats have set out from the bay, their catches forming a vital part of the local economy, supplementing the more recent growth in horticulture that now dots the landscape with neat rows of crops. The history of Hakahaka is etched into the very land, a quiet testament to the resilience of those who have called this place home. While the Reverend Samuel Ironside Memorial lies a short distance inland, its presence hints at the deeper layers of human endeavour that have shaped this stretch of coast, a place where the rhythm of the tides dictates the pulse of daily life.

About This Hakahaka Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Hakahaka, Marlborough, New Zealand at coordinates -41.3, 174.11667. Use the Map and Satellite buttons to switch views, the plus and minus buttons to zoom, and Fullscreen to fill the screen.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map with four things the embedded map cannot do. It searches OpenStreetMap for any New Zealand town, suburb or landmark by name. It offers LINZ topographic maps as a base layer — the official Topo250 and Topo50 sheets, switching scale automatically as you zoom, and the standard reference for tramping, hunting and back-country travel. It offers LINZ aerial imagery down to 5cm resolution in urban areas. And it can take a single GPS fix from your device and report your position as both an NZTM2000 grid reference and plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what New Zealand search and rescue services work from. Map tiles require mobile coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map itself cannot load.
