For those keen to explore, the property is uniquely positioned with the Waitawheta Tramway Track running right through it. This historic trail follows an old tramline circa 1898 to 1928 along a relatively flat route through the spectacular Waitawheta Gorge. Nearby, the Dalys Clearing Loop takes you through lush native bush with extensive groves of nikau nestled beneath towering tawa, kohekohe and pupate trees, before looping back to the Waitawheta Valley Tramway. With Riverstone Acres as your base, discover the many nearby options in the area including but not limited to the Dean Track and Dickies Flat. Gold mining sites and the Hauraki Rail Trail on foot or your bicycle, taking you in either direction of Paeroa or Waihi. If coastal beach is what you are looking for, Waihi Beach is a short 20 minute drive and makes for a lovely half day trip.
