The locality of Danseys Pass is located approximately halfway between the pass and Duntroon on the eastern side within Waitaki District (i.e. in Canterbury). Confusingly, however, the historic Danseys Pass Coach Inn / Danseys Pass Hotel is located on the western side within Central Otago District, at the locality known as Kyeburn Diggings or Upper Kyeburn, north of Kyeburn.
