Reviews
"A beautiful place to go exploring with the kids. So good to get out in nature. It's a really interesting mixed landscape with farmland, bush, streams and wetland to explore. It a great place to take kids in the school holidays."
"Beautiful farm! Grateful to those who share it with the public. Very well maintained. Walks for all levels of fitness & for casual strolls or hikes for a couple of hours. Bike & Horse trails too."
"Great lookout with easy access and gorgeous views over Kapiti Coast and Kapiti Island. The forest loop track has lots of info boards which help to keep kids entertained while discovering the forest birds and insects. Upd. What I really like about this reserve is that every path is so different. There are heaps of hidden gems like giant totara or kid-size bench, weta boxes in the bush and cool look-outs. Hit the track and enjoy!"
"Not sure what the other reviewers are talking about in regard to mtb trails as the actual marked trails on the map are quite disappointing. Especially the "advanced" decent. Which is nothing but an overgrown 4wd track down the side of the hill! The beginner climb is good and has a good mix of climbing to resting sections with some reasonable views along the way. The gates that must be opened and closed are actually quite dangerous and have a high risk of slipping through and seriously injuring a leg/foot if not careful!"
"An excellent gateway into the Akatarawa ranges, especially the back side of the Karapoti Classic race course. The ride (or walk) up will take about 40 minutes (on a mountain bike)"
