About Havelock
Havelock sits at the head of Pelorus Sound / Te Hoiere, the second of the main sounds, and is the western end of the Link Pathway from Picton. InterCity's coaches stop there on the way to Nelson, which makes it reachable without a car. Beyond that, we don't have verified detail about what to do there, so this page is deliberately short rather than padded.
