Honeycomb Rock

North Wairarapa, Wairarapa, New Zealand

Coastal walk on the east coast of the Wairarapa to view an interesting rock and seals

Easy

Bike and Foot

(Full track description and route to follow - the track shown is approximate only, not from GPS)

The start of the walk goes across a few fields to bypass the start of Glenburn station, but joins up again with a flat 4WD track out to Honeycomb rock. There is one stream crossing. The rock has seals in winter.

Start of track at Glenburn station

Getting there takes almost as long as doing the walk! From Carterton take the road to Gladstone, and follow Gladstone Road to the Te Wharau junction. Follow the signs to Glenburn station, passing through Te Wharau settlement on the way. Glenburn station is about 60 km from Masterton, and the last 20 km of the road is unsealed. Allow an hour to drive from Masterton.

Carterton is the nearest place for petrol, food and drink. There is nothing at Te Wharau or Glenburn/Flat Point.

The track is closed for lambing in September and October.

No shooting and no dogs, but mountain bikes okay.
