Walking and driving instructions
Glenfinnan Stream Waterfall is roughly a 60-80 minutes’ drive away from Wanaka. Wanaka-Mount Aspiring Rd is a gravel road with huge holes and cracks on it as well as multiple creek's fords. There is an official sign at the road entrance saying that it's not a public road, the road is maintained by DOC and DOC takes no liability for the vehicles entering to this road. This road is unsuitable for low wheel-base vehicles and we highly recommend a 4-WD vehicle for this trip. From Wanaka follow Wanaka-Mount Aspiring Rd for 42.5km until you see Glenfinnan Stream Waterfall (on the left hand side). Park your car on a side of the road. There is neither official carpark there, nor any facilities there (no toilets). If you drive for 10.5 more kilometres, then you'll reach the official Raspberry Flat carpark with all the facilities there (toilets, tables, etc.). The waterfall is located on a private land, please respect the private property and enjoy the waterfall's beauty from a distance. There are lots of different waterfalls along Wanaka-Mount Aspiring Rd, so drive carefully and watch for waterfalls. |
