Tahakopa
Locality in Clutha District, Otago Region, New Zealand
Tahakopa is a small settlement in The Catlins, an area of the southern South Island of New Zealand.[1] It is located 25 kilometres northeast of Waikawa on the Tahakopa River.[2] On 17 February 1915, Tahakopa became the terminus of the Catlins River Branch railway and retained this status until the branch line was closed on 27 February 1971.[3] From the line's opening until 12 August 1956, a railway locomotive depot was based in the village. The old station building and goods shed still stand today.[1]
