Walk along Tahuna Beach. Yes, it's a tough job but someone's got to do it. Keep walking. Just a little farther. You'll eventually come to an incredible driftwood hut. An as yet unidentified builder has put serious effort into this architectural enigma. The wood is criss-crossed tight enough to make the structure robust, yet the spaces between allow glorious Nelson sunlight to sneak in. The driftwood has been driven deep into the sand, which makes a lone constructor unlikely. Grassy dune accomplice theories, anyone?
The hut's intimate interior is kitted out with log seats. It's a perfect spot for shade-seekers. A writer whose ideas have dried up might sit here, stare at the glistening ocean and gain inspiration. An artist could lug an easel in and paint a seascape. With Valentine's Day coming, surely someone romantically inclined will use the quaint cabin as a venue for a picnic. On a clear night, you could bed down on the cool sand floor. Sleeping and star-gazing only, please – latex mementos of passion would definitely spoil this hideaway.
So, does anyone know who built this hut? Perhaps it's the work of construction pixies who come out only at night...
