The road is very rough and inaccessible for vans.

Drumul este relativ accesibil atunci când nu a plouat timp de câteva minute, dar foarte inconfortabil. Am condus la aproximativ 20 km / h pentru 12 km. Nu am mers atât de departe la campingul din apropiere, simțindu-ne complet izolați.

Terrible road, muddy, narrow bushes scratch car paint.

Nu am putut ajunge la camping. Drumul indicat este foarte îngust și crăpăturile au zgâriat vopseaua camionului nostru mic. Vehiculul a venit să se odihnească într-o bucată de noroi. Ceea ce ne obligă să oferim asistență pe cheltuiala noastră pentru a ne întoarce. Dezamăgit și mare cheltuială neașteptată. În cele din urmă am mers la Wakapapa unde campingul plătit a fost de acord să ne perceapă o mulțime, dar fără rezervare pentru noapte.

Tocmai am aflat, că nu este permis să camping aici și străzile sunt destul de rele, așa că nu aș recomanda deloc.

Directions aren't correct, you need to take John McDonald road which is rd before heading north. It's about 11km up a forest track, was bit rough in places but slowly you will get there if not in a 4wd. You can walk about 200m down a track to see caves but there isn't camping here, another couple kms up there is pokaka mill campsite which is a big basic flat area to camp. Toilet between caves & campsite. Probably not ideal in 2wd if just for one nite

The path is not indicated. We must make a passage in the water (depending on the level the barrier is closed). It takes at least 7-8km, because Google maps does not locate the cellars. We finally gave up and landed a little after the education center. No passage except for a few hunters early in the morning.

No recent comments but the sign at the entrance indicates no camping on the entire reserve then after it is 4-8km of gravel road. We turned around after 1km the road was getting worse and worse.

The road seemed pretty rough after the half so we stayed before the place. Plenty of area across the forestry without blocking ways. You have to be fully self-contained as there are no water nor toilets around.

Stay away from this spot. Exhausting 30min drive on bad gravel road.
