Rewanui Loops

Matai Loop The Matai loop is marked in yellow on the map at the carpark. It is quite steep to negotiate and requires a moderate level of agility. As the name indicates there are some very good old Matai trees to be seen on this track. There is a grove of Matais a short distance from the junction with the Totara loop that is easy to visit without tackling the steeper sections of the track. Exotic Loop the Exotic Loop is mostly farm tracks in open grassland and forestry tracks in recently planted trees. Some great views are to be seen from stages along the track
