Join the Kaitoke Walkway at the bottom of Roberston Street, and follow this 2.5km to it's end by the one-way bridge. Cross the bridge and continue along the footpath to Opotoru Rd on the left. Follow this road up, over the bridge into Rangitahi then when you hit Mara Kai Ln (on the left), cross over and join the off road trail (on the right).
Follow this grassy path all the way around the estuary and along the back of the golf course until you come to a farm gate. Go through the gate, and through the paddock to another gate at the top.
You'll come out on Te Hutewai Rd, head left up this road until you get to the Gravel Road sign (or carry on as far as you want for more undulating gravel).. admire the view from the top, and then head back down the road the way you came.
To make it a loop go down Te Hutewai Rd, all the way to its end, then turn right and follow Wainui Rd back to the bridge and then back onto the Kaitoke Walkway heading back to the start. Alternatively, you can go back through the paddock, make it an out and back, skipping Te Hutewai Rd, but it's a nice road really :-)
Easy trails through bush and fields with views of the estuary & Raglan coastline.
Public Toilets in town nearby, just along from the jetty on Cliff Street and next to the Information Centre on Wainui Rd.
There's a turnaround at the bottom of the road, where the Kaitoke Walkway (and this trail) starts, just park along there. The 23 Raglan bus service will get you pretty close to the start as well.
