    Loved this place! Offline. Flushing toilet and sink. The road is ok, we got in with regular van with careful driving. We chose a good dry spot. It rained few days and the road out was still ok

    The road changes to metal gravel so be prepared for that. It’s the entrance to tracks for the Tararua ranges so there are seasoned trampers going in & coming out of it. Not suitable for your gym shoes as there are some muddy areas on the path today. Camping & toilets are basic facilities.

    *Necklace found* seed beads and a macrame tiger eye found on riverbank. If they’re yours, 0274949336. I loved this place. The road is a bit savage near the end, but ok if you take it easy. Lots of birds if you hike up the very steep track towards cone hut

    Just managed to get in with our 7.5m motorhome but it was challenging, due to steepness and rutted road surface. 4WD would have been useful. Camp well maintained and suspension bridge spectacular. A beautiful place and worth the rather nerve-wracking drive in.

    WARNING!!!! No one had warned us that not only is the road narrow and windy but there is some sections that are steep and very pot holey .......... So much so that our car couldn’t get over them towing a pop top. Our car is front wheel drive so lack a bit of traction but someone needed to write this! If you can get in, and there were some people who hag caravans via 4WD, it’s a nice place. There are many alcoves to hide away and the bush is great. We came back without the pop top to look over what we missed the next day. The swing bridge is amazing and well worth a crossing. Toilets great and flushable with two unisex. Access to the river is a little hard with small kids but there are some beautiful spots to swim. Lugging water from river is possible but it is a very big climb!!! A nice place but because of the difficult access fir kids wouldn’t come back ..........

    Awesome spot, narrow winding access road, was a bit of a challenge taking our 8m caravan in. Good sheltered camp sites better suited to smaller vehicles. Fabulous walk to Totara Flat, amazing native bush and an epic swingbridge.
