Pretty nice and long and gotta admit a little eerie. This tunel was part of the southernmost railway in South hemisphere. There is no entry fee or such but we waited to go in in order to soak in the atmosphere alone. Bring a head torch. On the way back notice the entrance is not "growing larger or nearing" you even though you keep walking for quite a while. 👻 The entrance is about 10 minute walk on unpaved path from the Carpark.

I've always wanted to walk through a train tunnel and this place gave me exactly that! It's dark, although you can always see at least one end of the tunnel, so it's not too scary. The rails are long gone, so the floor is level enough to not be any trouble, though I am glad I brought a torch. The signage is obvious and clear. The walk is only about 2 minutes from the car park.

If you're stuck for something to do and trying to fill in some time while in the Catlins, worth stopping in. Although it is basically a long dark tunnel which used to be a railway track. It abruptly ends and only has a couple of informational signs at either end. Can be completed in 10 minutes.

Creepy place. can go in without a torch if you are super brave. Phone torch won't do you any good. A high powered torch will show the craftsmanship involved in this place. Short walk. After the tunnel there is more tracks but if you read the signs it will say that the walk ends at the end of the tunnel so enjoy it and then turn back I guess. About 20 minutes...
