It was awesome experience going on track. There is enough parking space available besides bridge. There is toilet facility in parking. There are two ways to go to lighthouse but i took left side as it says it is main track. The track is with moderate difficulty but most effective factor is WIND. If wind is in your favor then it's easy otherwise bit difficult at times. Well marked tracks, awesome views. The water looks cool from top. It is worth walking to the lighthouse for the view. It took altogether 2 hrs walk and half an hour rest on the top.

Baring Head Lighthouse was a replacement for the Pencarrow Head Lighthouse when it was de-commissioned in 1935. The Lighthouse itself has a height of only 12.2 metres. But is conveniently located on a clifftop on the main approach to Wellington Harbour effectively giving it a focal height of 87 metres.To get there, take the Coast Road off Wainuiomata and stop at the Signposted East Harbour Regional Park" Car park with a bridge across the Wainuiomata River. If you have reached the Beach Access Car-park

An amazing place to visit. Amazing views on a good day. I can't wait until the lighthouse keepers buildings are turned into accommodation to rent overnight. Make sure you approach the door of the pump house as it automatically opens into a small but interesting museum and information centre. Well worth the walk.

Great day trip. Parking is well sign posted. Steep but scenic hike up the farm trails to the lighthouse and historic bunkers even higher up. Respect the farm land. Great views up and down the coast. The beach below is also worth an explore with great climbing rocks and lots of wildlife. Highly recommend.

Beautiful spot and a lot of work going into its restoration. A gentle 3km walk - after a 500 m climb.
