The Sugarloaf Communications Tower on Dyers Pass Road in Cashmere, Christchurch, is a working transmission tower that visitors come to for the walk and the view. Visitors describe a flat, easy track that starts from the carpark, with the tower on the right, and reaches a view of the harbour after about five minutes. The track runs just above the road and follows its direction for most of the way.
Reviewers say the carpark is one of the best places to watch the sunset, and they describe the views as amazing. One reviewer notes that the reviews on this listing are really about the carpark rather than the antenna. The listing's website belongs to Kordia, a company that says it has more than 60 years of experience in broadcast and critical communications. On a site like this, the tower does its work out of sight of the walkers. Our pick in Cashmere for a sunset walk with a harbour view.
