Property information
Danseys Pass Holiday Park is a peaceful riverside retreat tucked in North Otago’s foothills. Surrounded by native bush and birdsong, it’s an off-grid escape where you can swim, relax, and reconnect with nature.
Stay in rustic cabins, family bunk rooms, or self-contained lodges, with access to shared kitchens, bathrooms, and picnic areas. Located 10m from Duntroon and 40m from Oamaru, it’s a great base for exploring the Waitaki District or cycling the Alps 2 Ocean trail. To book a campsite, visit our website.
Neighbourhood information
Danseys Pass Holiday Park sits in the heart of North Otago’s striking landscapes and rich heritage. Just 13 minutes north, the village of Duntroon offers local charm with the Flying Pig Café, historic Duntroon Hotel, Nichols’ Blacksmith Shop, and the Vanished World Centre — a volunteer-run museum showcasing the area’s incredible geology.
Nearby, you’ll find dramatic natural sites like Elephant Rocks, Valley of the Whales, and ancient Māori rock art — favourites among geologists and explorers alike. Tokarahi Golf Course offers a scenic 9-hole round just minutes away, and the Alps 2 Ocean Cycle Trail runs close by for cyclists. The stunning Danseys Pass Road links directly to the Otago Central Rail Trail.
In winter, Awakino Ski Field is a relaxed, club-run alpine option only 35 minutes from the park.
For a coastal day trip, Oamaru is just 40 minutes away — home to blue penguins, Steampunk HQ, heritage buildings, gardens, cafés, and a thriving local arts scene.
