5 months agoThis was quite a rutted and rough road to get there, so I just went slowly. Good parking and a nice 45 min peaceful loop track. Take a wee torch or phone. It's nice to read the stories and hard to imagine a hustling community of men working so hard for their gold!!

7 months agoIt’s a long drive in on a mostly rough gravel road. At a minimum you will need an SUV as there are some deep ruts near the end. Our Toyota Highlander made it with no issues. We showed up at 4:00pm on a weekday and nobody else was there. A bit creepy as the area is quite isolated. Easy 45 minute loop track walk. Cool suspension bridge. The old mine tunnels were a bit dangerous for our tastes.

2 months agoGreat track, so beautiful. It's a 1 km loop. So perfect for my 2 year old. Plenty of things to keep his interest. Good drops in a few places. We drove the road coming from greymouth side. Easy road to drive, last 15 mins is gravel road. We have a low car and we were fine.
