Driving Directions
Driving from Nelson / Motueka, continue on State Highway 60 for 8km past Motueka. You will see the Pah Road turn-off leading to Kaiteriteri. Do not take this road. Instead continue towards the left on highway 60 and turn right shortly after at the Sandy Bay Road turn-off towards Marahau, that leads over the Marahau hill towards Marahau.
After approx 6 km and on the other side of the hill, you will see the sign Kanuka Ridge Lodge. Turn left into Moss Road. We are the first on the left.
If you are driving from Golden Bay the directions are the same except you will find Sandy Bay Road on your left after you descend the big Takaka hill.
