Squeezed between the mountains and the Tasman Sea, Barrytown is a tiny place you could drive past. But it’s worth a quick stop if you have time. The town is hugely creative and is famous for its naturally polished pounamu (greenstone) pebbles, which wash down from the mountains. If you’re lucky enough to find one, Bonz N Stonz in Hokitika can help you carve it into a unique memento of your trip to Aotearoa.
