Pukekoikoi curves around the edge of Bakers Bay, its shoreline a mosaic of smooth, grey stones and patches of dark, damp sand exposed by the receding tide. It lies 44.4 km north-north-east of Blenheim (from Blenheim: bearing 24°T), and is situated 20.5 km north-east of Picton. The air here carries the sharp, clean scent of salt spray, a constant reminder of the ocean’s proximity. Rolling hills, cloaked in a scrubby, resilient green, rise gently behind the immediate coastal fringe, their slopes etched with the tracks of sheep and the occasional fence line. Sunlight, when it breaks through the often-misty sky, has a peculiar softness, casting a diffused glow that softens the rugged contours of the landscape and glints off the calm surface of the bay.

The history of Pukekoikoi is interwoven with the bounty of the sea and the resilience of its early settlers. For generations, the local economy has been shaped by the rhythm of the tides, with fishing boats bobbing in the small harbour, their catches forming the backbone of the local sustenance and trade. While the Graham River is some distance inland, the coastal waters are the lifeblood of Pukekoikoi, providing a livelihood that has seen the community weather changing fortunes. The Queen Charlotte Walking Track, a celebrated pathway, passes within a few kilometres, drawing travellers who seek the wild beauty of the region, and often stopping in Pukekoikoi for supplies or a moment’s rest, drawn by the quiet charm of this coastal outpost.
