 A
10 minute walk takes you to an old house site and the best view
on the road. A bit further through regenerating forest takes you
to 'The second gate', giving a round trip of 50 minutes.
- a fantastic
hour long walk through a neighbours bush reserve.
This is a well known tramp from the summit of SH1 near the Skyline
Tearooms down to Waipu Cove. It takes 7 hours and is only recommended
for serious trampers. Massey Rd cuts this walkway about half way,
so one option is to walk to Waihoihoi Lodge on one day, and walk
the second half the next. We are very happy to drop people or pick
them up at either end of the walk. Note that at present the walkway
is officially closed except on Sundays because of logging activities.
A 3 hour round trip from the Lodge, along
part of the Brynderwyn walkway, takes you a panoramic view over
Mangawhai and down to Goat Island and across to the Wairoa River
and the west coast.
Our neighbours have horses which graze our land occasionally, and
sometimes can arrange a ride.
We have two bikes which can be borrowed. The Brynderwyn track goes
past our house.
Do all of it or just some - most of the walks above can be done
on a mountain bike. Take the bikes to the beach at low tide and
ride the length of Uretiti beach from Waipu Cove to Marsden point.
