Tamaki River, Dannevirke

Post by vinceandrobyn »

Has anyone been up Tamaki River recently, any access issues, locked gates etc? We were hoping to take the kids up to the Hut. Whats the track like, driveable for a single truck? Have front and rear winch and ground anchor.

Tamaki has been closed by the guys at DOC but the Kumati stream can still be driven and provides a challenge at the top end

Thanks want to take the kids (3 & 5yrs) up for an overnighter in the bush, hoping for a hut, but DOC removes all the handy ones.
