At the northern trailhead of The Old Ghost Road, a special wilderness accommodation and cafe experience lies waiting to be discovered. Begin or end your Old Ghost Road adventure with a night at the Rough and Tumble Bush Lodge, or just relax and soak up the ambience of our pristine setting – all are welcome. We offer deeply comfortable accommodation, hearty meals and relaxed friendly hosts, along with a range of local beer and wines.

10 minutes from the Seddonville-end of The Old Ghost Road you’ll find Gentle Annie Seaside Accommodation and Camping Ground. Bounded by nikau-fringed native bush, the Tasman Sea and Mokihinui River, Gentle Annie is a great spot to stay before or after your OGR adventure! We have 5 private self-contained holiday homes (accommodating singles and larger groups) and camping sites offering stunning views, right next to the beautiful beach. Enjoy delicious baking and coffee at the Cowshed Cafe.

We are 3.5km from the northern end of the OGR. We have 6 motel units available which are capable of sleeping 18 guests. We have WI-FI, a bike wash area, secure shelter for bike storage and have parking for while you are on the trail. We have a restaurant for hot meals or takeaways for when you finish your journey and a small shop for any essential needs you may have. We look forward to seeing you at the Seddonville hotel. Thank you, Graeme.
