Plenty of parking when I arrived at 945am on a Monday. Almost half the lot empty. Took me 5 hours return on a warm summers day with minimal winds, including time for photos at the viewpoint and 15min lunch break at the summit. Better to start early morning when it’s less hot going up than to start in the afternoon when the sun is scorching. This entire track is on one side of the mountain face so u get a constant view of lake wanaka the whole way up and down. Makes the hiking less strenuous when you can enjoy the view anytime. The whole route is 100% exposed right from the start with no tree cover so don’t forget your sunblock, I got badly burnt. Some parts were relatively flat but most of it was gentle slope up (unlike Ben Lomond which had almost vertical rock cliffs near the summit).

Grandson climbed the Peak while I waited for him in carpark. Loads of keen people climbing, all ages and fitness levels but too much for me! :-)

Steep of the track and the heat during summertime make this track be one of the tough route for beginner including me. I took 7 hrs, start from 1 am to 8 pm, for round trip. There is no shade of tree to hide so you must be well prepared for this route. You should bring at least 2 bottles of water (600ml) and some energy bar. I also brought an apple with me and it do help a lot. ( I recommend to bring 2 😂) some people starts the track since early morning for sunrise but it too early for me. I start in the afternoon and reach the top at the evening. I love the light at that time because it made the sky and the lake so blue and when you walk back the weather is getting cool comparing to the day time.

The parking was great , the walk was spectacular!! Not for the faint hearted or those who have low fitness levels.

Fair amount of parking here. It gets pretty busy/full. There is a little donation bin right before you enter the track/path if you would like to pay any conservation fees and such, as this is private land but the owners allow the public access to this beautiful peak. In 2019 someone was hiking and lost their wedding ring on the track so they left a little note on the way in by the donation bin/sign, so keep an eye out sometimes interesting stuff like that can be read here.

Good carpark and beginning point for one of the best walk in New Zealand. But you don't need to pay for it, maybe this is why it is not as advertised as other, less impressive, walks.

16ks but beautiful views

It's a car park so it's nothing fancy but there is information about the hike up to roys Peak and a toilet about 50 metres onto the track. No shelter here though.

Amazing hike, definitely worth all the time it took

M. K.

Car was still there when I got back from the hike. So hey, way to go New Zealand for NOT breaking out my windows and stealing my stuff. 10/10

A. T.

Rather small and place will be packed with cars. Come here early to secure a spot before your hike.

It is hard but the view is between top 5 that i saw in New Zealand.

If you evacuate to this place when the world comes to an end, you will be saved.

Get there early or you won’t find a car park! If you park on the street, you will get fined!

plenty space

(Translated) Superb walking, but as said in the other comments, limited parking spaces! Come no later than 8 am in summer (mid-January for us) if you want an "official" parking space. Otherwise, people park on a small piece of land by the roadside (at risk of traffic violation, but I don't know if in practice the police do it there). (Original) Superbe marche, mais comme dit dans les autres commentaires, places de parking limitées ! Venez au plus tard à 08h en été (mi-janvier pour nous) si vous voulez une place de parc "officielle". Sinon, les gens se parquent sur un petit terrain en bord de route (à risque de contravention, mais je ne sais pas si en pratique la police le fait à cet endroit).

(Translated) I have to coin before I go in! I saw that many people didn't vote for it~ Ming Ming wrote so big! ! Although it is a free testimony, I feel that it is worthwhile to support New Zealand to maintain the natural environment with two NZD coins. It is worthwhile for Taiwanese to be a polite and disciplined international traveler. (Original) 進去之前要投幣喔！看見好多人都沒有投～明明字寫那麼大！！雖然是自由心證，但我覺得⋯以2塊紐幣，支持紐西蘭繼續維護自然環境，是很值得的😊身為台灣人一定要當個有禮貌又守規矩的國際旅客🇹🇼

(Translated) Very nice hike, but beware it climbs a lot! We took 2 hours to climb to the point of view which is sublime! However go early in the morning because very tourist hike (Original) Très belle rando, mais attention ça grimpe beaucoup ! Nous avons mis 2h pour monter au point de vue qui est sublime ! Cependant allez y tôt le matin car rando très touristique

(Translated) Too late to go down the mountain (the dark), there will be an administrator to find someone, it is recommended to take pictures of the morning mountain, when there is no light at all. (Original) 太晚下山（天黑）會有管理員上去找人，建議愛拍照的要提早上山，天黑時是完全沒任何燈光。

(Translated) One of the best views of my life! Without a doubt ... And look, I have climbed mountains ... (Original) Unas de las mejores vistas de mi vida! Sin duda... Y mira que he subido montañas...

(Translated) Beautiful. Trek legs have to try. (Original) สวยงาม ขาเทรคต้องมาลองดู

(Translated) From here, you can start to challenge the Roy Peak Track. Remember to come early and have limited parking. (Original) 從這邊上去就可以開始挑戰Roy Peak Track，熱門時段記得早點來，停車位有限。
