W	Will Robertson on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ You'll want proper tramping boots for this track, as there are a lot more stream crossings, tree-root/rock steps, narrow edges, etc than the more popular Wellington district tracks. In Winter/Spring, seems to be extremely muddy + a lot of storm debris to navigate. Not sure it's all that well-maintained from about 15min into the walk, onwards.
J	Jeannette Fleur Matthews on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A great weekend walk around the loop track, however a bit muddy in places following recent rain.
L	Lila Alatas on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Some part It's too narrow for kids even for adults. Too muddy during winter, idk if its in summer. But we still have a good time. Because they have a lot of creeks/stream it can be quite muddy around there.
O	Olivia Wilding on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I really enjoyed this walk! There were just a few problems, the path itself was a bit tricky to find, even as I was looking at a map, as the signage is quite hidden. There were a couple of moments that I wondered if I was even on the track anymore as there was no signage and parts are quite overgrown and you have to cross a lot of streams. Wouldn't be great for small children or if you're just wanting a leisurely walk. Had to take a few guesses what directions to take when the path forked as there weren't any signs to indicate where they led. Apart from that there were beautiful views and it was well shaded most of the walk so good for hot days ?
J	Jonathan Neill on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful track Don't believe the people who said it's not suitable for kids. 6YO had no issues and loved all the crossings. 4YO needed some help but managed and as an adult was easy with the 3rd in a frontpack. It is a beginner tramp, I think the others were expecting a beginner bush walk
N	Nick Malcolm on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Don’t bring a pram! Great fun track. For younger kids walk to the pine clearing and back - one stream crossing to keep things interesting. Probably 6 or 7 more stream crossings after that if you’re all feeling more adventurous. We did the whole loop with a 2 & 5 year old and it took a couple hours. Love it!
O	Olivia on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great track! Always an interesting experience to walk through. Mostly shaded and damp with a couple of small river crossings. Mostly empty of others. Lots of mushrooms if you look closely.
