A family business for Pipiriki
Pipiriki visitors can now buy takeaway food in the village, since a local couple extended their existing tourism business. Baldy Haitana and his wife Arlene Phillips and their family have added a takeaway service to their Paparoa Jet Boat Tours, under the one umbrella as 'Hikoi Connections, . It is the family's intention to
a service seven days a week in summer, Ilam to 6pm. As the tourist trade increases in the summer, particularly river users, Arlene sees the need to provide a fast food-tuck shop type of store. There was a service of a similar kind offered there in the past and with the improvement to Pipiriki Road they are predicting an increase in traffic.
