I had a loop walk to Patuha,was taking my time and enjoyed walk in barefoot,the mud felt like chocolate :) Some parts are steep and uneven but it’s a lovely walk

Wtf? Not worth at all! You walk up and down through bush, don't have any good views and there is mud everywhere. If you really want to go here take the left one of the two walks, walk to the Redwoods and then back. The rest is a waste of time!!

Pointing at the other comment: You definitely don't have to do this when you are in New Zealand. Just walking through a forest and the view is boring compared to other views in NZ. Just good for a short walk during a long drive.

Wonderful walk! Easy to do and can be done in about 2 hours. If you're in New Zealand you definitely have to do this. Really great tip! Enjoy the walk.

The walk takes 2 hours and is through jungle. It's well enough signposted. But: the walk is extremly uneven and at parts very steep. The roots of the trees are forming 'steps'. My hiking shoes did pay off. You'll have to constantly watch your step in order not to fall. The views were great though! But we weren't able to see Mt Taranki from there.
