Seddonville Must-Do's

Charming Creek Walkway

Bring your boots, bikes and dogs to enjoy this 5.5km walking track and Grade 3 bike trail. Venture past mining sites to a viewpoint over Mangatini Falls. Allow two hours each way (walking).

Old Ghost Road

This once forgotten gold miners’ route has been given a new lease of life as a four to five-day tramping trail and Grade 4 mountain bike track. Four forgotten ghost towns speckle the 85km-long road, connecting Lyell to Mōkihinui. The latter sits just 5km from Seddonville.

Hector Beach

14km from Seddonville and just 650m from Charming Creek Walkway. Not surprisingly, it’s frequently visited by dumpling-sized Hector’s dolphins.

Old Ghost Ultra

Kicking off 19 February 2022, the 85km Old Ghost Road can also be run! Undoubtedly one of the most remote, arduous backcountry marathons in the country.

Ngākawau and Granity

These two wonderfully remote townships sit 15-20 minutes south-west of Seddonville. No resorts, bus tours or throngs of tourists in sight.
