how far up you wanting to head?
The river flows through there farm but not until up around the headwaters but don't think its possible to drive that far up. according to wamz its legal to drive right up it till mt virginia road. pretty sure it runs through haydon downs farm and that is owned by my girlfriends uncle. but then it might divide mt virginia farm and haydon downs but ether way they both owned by same guy.

I have driven from where it meets the Hurnui River up to Powers Rd where its gets a bit tight and lots of soft deep water holes. A good area to explore an a suuny day. Nig
