Te Hoho is quite possibly the most photographed rock formation in New Zealand, its towering presence—viewed through the natural frame created by Cathedral Cove’s famous cave—the subject of countless photos. Battered and shaped by aeons of coastal erosion, Te Hoho Rock continues to defiantly stand with a majestic dignity, now looking vaguely like the prow of a massive ocean-liner. It adds an undeniable grandeur to a stunning natural landscape, captivating visitors with its rugged beauty and sheer prominence. It is the ying to the yang of its more glamorous cave ‘sibling’, a photo through Cathedral Cove’s famous archway just wouldn’t be nearly as wonderful without this quiet giant in frame.
