Beautiful

Great interlude on the way up to Luxmore hut.

Great place

Very impressive to see the seal's. Very nice

Beautiful scenery with walks for all stages from 40 mins to 2hours. Longer walks/hikes for the more experienced. Fast walkers can get to the orongorongo river/banana brid ... more

A small conservation block on a family farm Includes old growth forest and regenerating bush as well as significant new tree planting. Look out for open days.

Absolutely beautiful

I came here at night, it looks pretty and more romantic than the day time

A lovely example of New Zealand native bush.

The green shades covered the Earth, the core collapsed, the gravitational energy fading. People praying for the peace, bird of paradise swoops down, evolved. An angel.

Grateful for the work that's been done on the track and around the tree since my last visits (steps, pontoon, arrows, viewing platforms...)

Love this forrest

Stunning view

Place

A cool wee track. Quite muddy in patches, definitely wouldn't take a stroller. It only took us 40 minutes.

Would be a good name for a Gin label.

Best place to walk your dog

No tracks in the Reserve, quite dissapointing, have to free range!

Very steep some areas and very muddy other areas bring good boots and you will be fine good walk

Not so suitable for disabled people however distance is only 15mins walk one way.

I think it's the top halfday ride in New Zealand. Stunning bush, incredible views, instant isolation so close to the city, such a long fun downhill.
