Good to know
Dogs are allowed here. Keep them on the lead, watch for ground-nesting birds and stock, and read the signs at the gate.
Other walkers have reported this walk as pushchair suitable. A fellow walker’s word rather than a council or DOC check, so read the ground as you find it. One heads-up: the map data suggests there may be a small step or a kissing gate somewhere on or near the route, so be ready for one. Noted 2026-08-17.
