  Duntroon township is the penultimate stop for cyclists traveling from Mount Cook to Oamaru.

Cyclists looking for somewhere to stay can use the Duntroon Domain and enjoy chilling out in the comfortable facilities provided. Pitch your tent, or stay in your mobile home.

Before you set out for the coast, take a wander about our village.
Visit the Vanished World Fossil Centre.
Investigate the Duntroon Goal, restored to its former glory, complete with policeman.

Across the road is the historic Nicol's Forge. An actual working forge.





The Historic Duntroon Goal is open for visitors to step back into time.

Option 1

Make a day trip. Start at Duntroon and make your way back to Oamaru following the trail  and investigate many historic sites.

Call in to the famous Elephant Rocks. View the Anatini Fossil site, where Aslan's Camp was filmed for "The Lion, Witch & Wardrobe".

Carry on through the scenic route to Oamaru and all it's attractions.

 

 

 Option 2 

 

Start at Takiroa (Maori Rock drawings) just west of Duntroon on State Highway 83 and take the Alps2Ocean Cycle Trail through farmland along the Southern edge of the mighty Waitaki river and meander through the Duntroon Wetlands to emerge in the very heart of Duntroon township.
