Just looked on WAMs. Te Tuhi road is a legal but unformed road meaning that you can take your dog on the road. The legal road does not follow the farm track but winds all over, so a mapping app would be needed to keep to the road. Step off the road and you are trespassing on private land.
I would write to the farmer, tell him who you are, that you are writing to seek permission to cross his land, name a couple of local referees who can vouch for you and say that you will phone in a couple of weeks to speak with him. You can tell him that you are aware of the legal road, but would prefer to have his agreement.
