Upper Takaka Shoe Fence

5.0(12 reviews)

About

Upper Takaka Shoe Fence serves North Island as a local business, standing at 29 Commercial Street, Tākaka 7110, Nueva Zelanda. The attraction sits in Tākaka, with Auckland, Wellington, Rotorua, Taupo, Hamilton, Tauranga, Napier and New Plymouth spread across the country beyond it.

The fence is known as a roadside attraction, a stretch of footwear fixed along a line that passers-by stop to look at. Two photographs accompany the listing, showing the fence before a visit. Visitors rate it at 5 out of 5 across 12 reviews, a small but unanimous tally. The site keeps a website at https://mariposaclothing.co.nz/.

First-time visitors should expect a quick roadside stop rather than a full day out, so it suits a break on the drive through the Tākaka area. English is the main language and te reo Māori is also official, so Māori place names appear throughout the country. Seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August.

Hāngī, a meal cooked in an earth oven, and the pavlova dessert are both part of New Zealand food culture. Tūī, kererū and other native birds are common, and dolphins, fur seals and seabirds are seen around the coast. A stop at the fence fits naturally into a slower day of driving and coastal watching.
