Castlepoint Walkway: 3 km in Wairarapa
The Castlepoint Walkway is a named day walk in Wairarapa. The governing figure used here is 3 km (DOC · Castlepoint), not a straight line between towns.
Typical time on the route is 1 hour. Grade: Walking track. Season window: Year-round.
DOC’s Castlepoint walks. The lighthouse is the photo. Masterton is an hour inland. Stay in Castlepoint village if you want dawn.
The itinerary on this page is the published stop sequence: Masterton, Castlepoint village, Lagoon, Lighthouse. Cabins and holiday homes load live around each stop; hut and trailhead pins without a town page still search by radius.
Book DOC huts and Great Walks on the DOC system where that applies. Town beds are what this site lists. Carry the day’s food on remote legs — several of these routes have no shop between ends.
Stop by stop

Distances, grades and seasons above follow DOC · Castlepoint. Confirm opening dates, slips and hut bookings on the operator or DOC page before you travel; alpine and West Coast tracks close or reroute after weather.
