The entrance is from the end of Test Street which is in the South Hill area of Oamaru, less than 2 km from the visitor centre.
Recent developments at Cape Wanbrow by the local club over the last 18 months have resulted in a vast improvement of the fun factor at "The Cape' as it's known by locals. After a couple of climbing options the views from the top are first class while you take a breather. Then head downhill on one of half a dozen options. Jumps, roll overs and bermed corners all feature but are mostly avoidable. There is a mapboard at the entry gate on Test Street.
