At the north end of the Maniototo Plain is Danseys Pass which links the Maniototo to Waitali District. Danseys Pass is 16 km from Naseby.

Named after William Heywood Dansey, a North Otago run holder who did expedition over the Pass into Central Otago with three others in 1855-56. Danseys Pass was once well used for gold mining traffic and Moniototo side of the Pass was the successful gold digging which was discovered before major finding at Naseby.
