We read some reviews before coming here and were worried on how steep and shocking the roads sounded, and as we had a Toyota Hiace 2WD campervan, we were really torn if it was worth it.

But we decided to do it, and in all honesty, the road was absolutely fine - it was like any NZ gravel road. We didn’t struggle at all, and it wasn’t as narrow as some had said. We just took it slow, enjoyed the beautiful drive, and had a huge area to park up, hardly anyone was around.

Huge selection of walks, which are stunning. Definitely cold, but so worth it.
