How to get there, on doc.govt.nzFoot access from the west is either from Otipi road down the Motu - big river, many deep crossings, down Mangamate & Mangakirikiri streams from the Takaputahi Road dropping into the Mangamate down the ridge 500m NE of pt 630.
From the east it's a scrubby, hard 2-3 days to Oronui hut, and a further 4-8 hours to the Mt Hikurangi roadend.
