General information
The Waitekauri block encompasses the Otahu Ecological Area, Parakawai Geological Area and Coromandel Forest Park totalling approximately 8500 ha. The forest types comprise lowland/coastal to secondary manuka/kanuka forest and kauri forest. The terrain is undulating with sharp ridges and steep guts.
Access
The Waitekauri block has access points including the Golden Cross Road, Maratoto Road, Komata Reefs Road and Wentworth Valley Road. (The pine forest at the end of Komata Reefs Road was felled and replanted in 2012 so access is currently difficult.)
Landholders
All hunters are asked to respect the rights of private land owners and farmers and gain permission from the land owner/occupier should they intend to gain access to the block across private land.
