Get in
Drive 54 km (1 hour) north from Thames, or 28 km (half an hour) west from Kuaotunu.

An alternative route from Whitianga is the unsealed 309 Road, so named either because there are 309 bends in the road, or because horse-drawn coaches used to take 309 minutes to travel it. The two ends of the road are a few km south of the two towns. There are several attractions on the road, including the Waterworks.
