★ ★ ★ ★ ★ What a magic spot, especially first thing in the morning as the sun rises in the East.
The walk up to the Lighthouse involves a little bit of huffing and puffing up some stairs, but it's over real quick. The road from Te Araroa is currently in poor condition, being badly rutted, pot holed and corrugated. There are plans afoot to tar seal the road out there. Take your time and enjoy the drive, as its extremely scenic!
I managed to get the sunrise up there and I was the only one around! A special moment for sure!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Incredible. So generous that this is private land and we are allowed to use it to reach the lighthouse. Bring a few coins as there is a koha box at the gate. Definitely hike it for sunrise. You won’t regret it!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Neat lighthouse at the eastern edge of NZ, great views of the ocean. A lot of stairs up to the lighthouse, but a short walk, 15 mins at a reasonable pace. Road out to it is mostly paved, but still stretches of rough gravel, so allow extra travel time. Worth venturing out to it though.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A must do activity for every able bodied visitor. If going early take a good torch as a majority of the steps are in the bush.
There are a lot of stairs. Either 700, 800, 900 or 1,000 depending on whose count you believe. Some parts are easy and others more strenuous. There is a seat about halfway if needed plus plenty of birds to watch as you ascend.
Views from the top are excellent as expected.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing views particularly south and west directions. The road in is no longer all gravel and makes a quicker journey (there still some gravel sections). There is one bench seat at the top, could do with some more seating. Enjoyable walk.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful view. The light house access is through private land and it closed to the public at the moment, so you’re only able to view from a distance.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 800 stairs later. Awesome hīkoi. It was windy and wet today and the steps get a bit slippery but take your time and you'll be fine.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing spot to see sunrise. Check the weather before you go. I've spent a night at camp ground. So windy. It's about 10mins drive from camp site to the lighthouse. Overall, awesome experience.
