Tiromoana Bush Walkway
- Location
- The walk starts from the car parking area 3.3km from SH1, adjacent to the Mt Cass Road.
- Description
A public walking track has been established which links Mt Cass Road to the coast.
It is about 4 km to the coast with a height difference of 280m, and the walk usually takes 3-4 hrs return. Three lookouts along the route provide spectacular views of Tiromoana Bush itself, including wetlands and forests, together with spectacular coastal cliffs, Pegasus Bay and Banks Peninsula in the distance. A toilet is located just past the turnoff to the coastal cliff-top lookout. The track ends at the remote beach where Kate Stream enters Pegasus Bay, with the option to explore further along this beach. This walk has a bit of everything, and offers rewards for people at many levels. At present the walkway descends to the coast and then returns by the same rout, skirting the edge of Tiromoana Bush and largely following existing farm tracks (green dotted line on map).
Open to the public for most of the year, the walkway will be closed annually at lambing time, usually during August and September. Because the walkway is on a working farm, farm rules apply to anyone who uses Mt Cass Walkway. Please refer below website for details.
