Directions and access

Drive approximately 11km to the end of Anawhata Road. Drive with care - the road is metal, narrow and windy, and is not suitable for long vehicles.

Access Keddle House through a locked gate at the end of Anawhata Road (270).

The 500m driveway down to the house is quite steep. Large trailers are not permitted due to the steep access road and a small parking and turning area at the bach site.
