An amazing view in this area - the viaduct is one feature in an amazing landscape. Only wish other drivers were more patient with us slowing down to take in the sights.

Stunning view. Great for a quick stop to stretch legs before driving to another like endless zigzag road.

Even it's showering, the architecture is stunning. Wide and open view out here. Parking is prohibited. Signboard shows history and basic info.

Has a rest area with a picnic table. Has some spectacular views. Ideals for a quick stop pull over area.

The Makatote Viaduct is a fantastic structure. It was built between 1905-08 and was the tallest railway viaduct in New Zealand at the time. Now it’s the third tallest. It’s an amazing feat of engineering and well worth a quick stop. You can’t miss this striking railway viaduct as the road runs by the side of the valley and under the bridge. It’s also a great place to learn about its history.
