The Kaihoka Lakes are two small lakes on the northwest of Golden Bay in the South Island. There is some parking at the first one, but if the first park is occupied, there is a bit more space just up the hill above the lake.
There is a toilet, picnic table and a small grassed reserve next to the first lake. A ten-minute bush walk connects you to the second lake. Note that off the track is private property.
The lakes are surrounded by green rolling farmland and regenerating native forest. It is the perfect place for a pause and picnic.
