Te Puia Hut (Lodge) to Mangatainoka Hot Springs
Time: 45 min

From Te Puia Hut the track continues up river, past the turnoff to Makino Hut, and crosses a bridge over the Makino River just above its confluence with the Mohaka River.

The track then continues alongside the Mohaka, through native bush with some rolling terrain. Steep drop-offs in some sections lend nice views of the surrounding foothills. There is a final steep descent to reach the hot springs.

At the hot springs, there are 3 pools surrounded by a decking area. These pools have valves to control water flow and to empty the tubs. The hot springs are on a small manuka terrace beside the Mohaka River.

The Mangatainoka Hot Springs Campsite is adjacent to the pools.

If you wish to travel up the river from the hot springs, it's private land and prior permission from the landowner is required.
