Horoeka Scenic Reserve

A great experience for kids and adults. The short walk is fine for inexperienced walkers and has a gentle slope up the hill when taken in a clockwise direction. The fairy houses are made by local children and artists with some beautiful craftwork and a lot of love.

Just an awesome place for the kids, with a 1 km Bush walk filled with little fairy houses and doors. Highly recommended, and not too hard. We chose to go on a day that was really hot and sunny because it is all under the canopy of the trees, making for a cool experience.

Great track for kids. The fairy pathway is so good and thanks to all contributions from people...the fairy forest looks amazing and kids love it

Three loopwalks of varying difficulty from this pretty little reserve - the easy 45min Horoeka loopwalk, the intermediate 2.5hr Kingsley walk and the harder 3hr Tawhai loop. We completed the Kingsley walk which takes you through the bush, over streams and bridges, up to a wide track that takes you past the pylons and top of the Silverstream tip over to the top of Kingsley St. Then a walk through the suburb back to carpark on Horoeka St.

Great walk, perfect for the kids. Easy 40min walk with fun finding the fairy houses.
