Wharariki Road is a short gravel road at the very top of the South Island in the Tasman region, providing handy access toward the Cape Farewell area and the surrounding coast. The route is straightforward and useful as a connector for reaching the Cape Farewell Lookout, one of the most northerly viewpoints on the mainland. Set in the rugged, windswept landscape near Farewell Spit, it gives a taste of the wild northern coastline. The gravel surface suits most vehicles taking it steadily, and it makes a practical stop for travellers exploring this remote corner of the country.
