Seed and O’Brien’s Sawmill

- Otaki Forks is 19km inland from Otaki township – approx. 11/2 hr drive from Wellington or Palmerston North.

The last 5km of the Otaki Gorge Road is unsealed, narrow and windy – please drive carefully.
- Description
- From the Waiotauru car park. Pass through manuka trees and bush before coming out on grassy river terraces to the boiler and other remaining machinery that drove the sawmill from 1929 to 1931. Return the same way.
