This is another cache in what is intended to be a series of caches placed along or near Old Coach Road, the series being designed to take you for a drive along the sealed Old Coach Road which was part of the main route between Tauranga to Opotiki before the main road in its current location was put in. The drive will take you on a meandering route from the main highway at Paengaroa through farming and kiwifruit growing countryside, past four thriving country schools to where it rejoins the main road at Otamarakau - or the reverse.
Pongakawa Valley Road takes you on a scenic drive through to the Rotorua Lakes, depending which road you take further up the road you can either pass Lake Rotoehu to come out on the Rotorua Whakatane highway at Rotoma or you can cut around the North side of Lake Rotoiti to eventually join up with the top end of Maniatutu Road and then out onto Highway 33.
