Redcliff Creek, Takitimu Mountains

Southland region

Southland region.

The Takitimu mountain range is named after the ancient Maori migration waka (canoe) Takitimu.  The Ngāi Tahu Deed of Settlement places a topuni, a special recognition of Ngāi Tahu cultural, spiritual, historic and traditional values over the Takitimu mountain range.

The mountains are an impressive landform and they are obvious from most places in Southland, particularly during winter when the tops are covered in snow.  The area provides opportunities for tramping, hunting and fishing amongst attractive open beech forest, tussock and screes.

Location

The Takitimu Mountains are located in western Southland. Formed legal access is from Princhester Road (off SH 94) and the Dunrobin Valley Road south of Mossburn.
