About this place
This walk connects Red Bridge Road and Hinemoa Terrace with a side track to a lookout overlooking Tairua Habour and Pauanui.
The route
Starting at the end of Red Bridge Road, the track climbs up through regenerating native bush. There is a short side track to a lookout, with views down to Tairua Harbour. Continue along the track to get to Hinemoa Terrace. The track surface is clay and can be very slippery in places especially when it is wet, care should be taken.
