Kinikini Road sits inland of the Mahia Peninsula in the Gisborne region, a route that doesn't really lead anywhere in particular but rewards you with sweeping views back out over Mahia and the wider Hawke's Bay. It's an easy-graded gravel road that makes for a relaxed scenic drive rather than a technical challenge, suitable for most vehicles when conditions allow. Along the way you'll pass a DOC scenic reserve, and the road continues down toward Daria's Bay. The standout feature here is the scenery: beautiful coastal and rural panoramas open up as you climb and wind along the route. Note that access can be limited at times, particularly near the start, so how far you get may vary. Pack your camera and take your time to enjoy the outlooks across the peninsula and bay.
