We at the Mountain House sincerely trust you will enjoy the beauty that surrounds us on this side of the Mountain. Two notable features on this side are walks which are entirely different in character but easy for most to accomplish. The Kamahi Walk from the Mountain House takes one into the heart of the forest but is only 15 minutes in duration. The other is the walk from the Plateau to the Manganui Gorge, where within 20 minutes one is fronted by the sheer majesty and boldness of this unique cone peak.

All tracks are carefully sign posted but only local nature walks are colour coded for added peace of mind for newcomers to bush walking. Always allow for a weather change, particularly if venturing further up the mountain, and on the lower bush areas, keep to the well defined tracks.
