    Get in

    [edit]

    Due to the remote location of Elsthorpe, the only way to reach it is by road.

    Directions: Drive south from Hastings and Havelock North. Head down Waimarama Road. Go straight ahead at the second intersection where the road to Waimarama splits to the left (after bridge). You should then be on Kahuranaki Road. Stick to the main road and you can't miss it after about 30 km (20 min drive).
