Simply arrive, park securely, and begin your journey — no long walk from a distant car park, no tide calculations, no delays.

The newer beach access route can be longer and more demanding, particularly around changing tide conditions.
The traditional inland route offers a proven and straightforward start to the track, making it well suited to families, day walkers, and those carrying overnight packs.

The original track entrance has long been the preferred starting point for walkers.
It is direct, reliable, and significantly shorter than the alternative beach route — allowing you to conserve time and energy for the main climb ahead.

Drive to 147 Rawhiti Road, park on-site, shoulder your pack, and begin walking immediately.
Your vehicle remains securely parked right at the start of the original Cape Brett Track route — simple, convenient, and stress-free.
