About 1 km. The Wainui car park, at the end of McShane Road, is the northern entrance to the Abel Tasman Coast Track and Abel Tasman National Park. It's a 10–15 minute walk from your door.

If you're walking the track south to north, you finish almost at our doorstep. Guests can leave their car with us free of charge while they walk the track.

For a day walk on the northern loop, we'll drive you to Tōtaranui in your own car in the morning ($50, guests only, cash preferred). Meet us with your car at the back of the big green shed at 9am, unless we've arranged another time. We bring your car back to Golden Bay Hideaway, and you walk the northern loop back to it, which takes about 5 hours. To arrange it, contact our managers by phone or WhatsApp on +64 21 242 2714. Water taxis don't run beyond Tōtaranui, so the northern end is often far less crowded.
