If you choose to arrive by river taxi your vehicles will be safely stored at their base on SH4 for the duration of your stay.

If you are travelling by road from Whanganui take SH4 towards Mt Ruapehu, then take the second left [signposted Whanganui River Road] after the village of Upokongaro, approx 12 kms from Whanganui. We are almost 30 km along this road, just before Koriniti, which is signposted, it should take approx 30 minutes to drive, as it is a typical New Zealand backcountry road, where the 100 kph speed limit should be more like 50 kph. Some areas still need extra care due to ongoing roading improvements. Our place is on your left, watch for our sign and mailbox, and our rural number is 3081.

Or from the north, take a right turn off SH4 at Raetihi, and follow the River Road to Pipiriki. Swing left at Pipiriki and continue down approx 35 km , we are approx 1km past the sign at Koriniti.The road is unsealed most of the way from this direction, but you rejoin the seal around 7 or 8kms before our place. Again due to ongoing improvements to the safety of our road you may encounter road construction works.

When you reach our place the gate will be latched but not locked, if you have called us prior to turning off the State Highway system ,this will ensure we know when to watch for you. Our gravel drive is reasonably steep, best suited to four-wheel drive vehicles in wet weather, but Ok when dry [front wheel drive vehicles may need to reverse back up], there is room to park near the cableway, or alternatively park at the top by our sign and walk down. We can arrange vehicle storage in advance if you prefer, at a nearby neighbours, eg if you have large amounts of luggage etc which needs to be left in your car. Let us know if you would like us to arrange this for you.

If we are not in sight when you arrive, there is a gong adjacent to the cable car, which will attract our attention! A two-way radio [with instructions] is stored alongside the cable-car if you need to talk to us.
