Inland of the Mahia Peninsula, this gravel road climbs and winds for the views rather than any particular destination. As you gain height, the outlooks open up back over Mahia and across the wider Hawke's Bay, with a mix of coastal and rural country below.

Kinikini Road is an easy-graded gravel drive. You'll pass a DOC scenic reserve along the way, and the road carries on down toward Daria's Bay.

Access can be limited at times, especially near the start, so how far you get may vary. Worth taking your time and pulling over for the outlooks across the peninsula and bay.
