Seasons greetings everyone!
Just want to know a bit about the road (Makahu) into the hot springs. I hoping to take the family in for a few days glampng at the camp sight at the end of the road. I'll be all right with the 4wd but was wanting to know if the wife will be ok in her Toyota Corolla. We have to take two vehicles due to the kids all taking a friend each. I've heard there's a ford but don't know much about it. Some feedback would be much appreciated. Cheers
Yer she be sweet as

Yep good as in the Corolla unless there has been a lot of heavy rain
You'll have no worries taking a Toyota corolla into the Blue gums.
Was up there a few weeks ago and the road is good as gold.
The ford generally only has a few inches of water and has a good concrete base.
Check out the water level markers before you cross and if under the red line you'll be fine.
Take your rifle and a fishing rod as there is good hunting and fishing all along the river towards Te Puia Hut.
It's a popular place and I'd be surprised if you were camping alone.
The Hot Tubs are great for a relaxing evening swim.
Have fun.
Cheers

Thanks Pete.
Take some insect repellant. Sandflies galore. Great cicada fishing that time of year. If you're into fishing take the old track along the river, not the new one up 10min creek before Te Puia. Some nice bends with deep pools there.
You will definitely not be alone!
Cheers kiwijames.
take black and gold tobies , had plenty of success with them
