This track starts from a gate entrance behind the cob cottage. It goes across a paddock to a point for views of Molesworth Homestead and the surrounding farm buildings.

Awatere turn-off (22 km/185 km)

From Blenheim, follow State Highway 1 south, then turn right at the Awatere Valley intersection just north of Seddon and the Awatere Valley Bridge. A sign here will indicate whether the Molesworth Road is open.

Along the public Awatere Valley Road, picnic and toilet facilities are offered at the Marlborough District Council’s Blairich Recreation Reserve (37 km/161 km) and the Hodder Bridge Picnic Area (76 km/132 km).

Molesworth Cob Cottage (122 km/85 km)

For visitors who have travelled up the Awatere Valley, the original cob homestead built by John Murphy in 1866 is the gateway to Molesworth where the Acheron Road begins. If the road is closed, don't go any further.
