Visitor Comment 29th December 2023. This was a pleasant surprise. Looking for a nice place in the area to also take our dog. Our host recommended this one! I must admit I was going in with high expectations thinking a 4.5kms loop was a bit on the short side for us. I was proven wrong! Lots of “up a hill” “down a hill” mostly covered with roots (so watch your step). Lots of info on the way! And love NZ humour and the cafés! If taking a dog I recommend to have them off leash as I think “on” could be challenging when you both have to handle walking with care. Also I love trees but am not an enthusiast, however I truly was made to appreciate the diversity in this piece of forest! Ka pai for all the hard work put into this space! |
