Warning for 2024: A disgruntled, anti-social character has set up camp at the East Cape lighthouse car park (by the public toilet). We’ve been advised that it is best to avoid this person. That means avoiding the toilet at the car park. The nearest public toilet is in Te Araroa.
Due to workload limits we're only able to provide the East to West route files.
