Stairway to the Mountains (Central Plateau). Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Punga and Paua: We've thought it over. The Stairway has gone and the cache can never be the same again without it. So we've decided to archive it.

Thanks to the Cachers that were able to provide interesting stories about the history of this area.

Geocache Description:

Cache is a 1.2 Litre Sistema box in a camo bag, containing log book, pencil, pen and assorted goodies for exchange.


Sealed road access plus a short dirt road, alternatively park and walk 5 minutes. As you approach the cache area try to follow the grass edge along the bushes to avoid leaving a trail of footprints to the cache.

Lake Otamangakau is part of the Western Diversion of the Tongariro Power Scheme. It is a popular trophy trout fishing lake, frequented by both local and overseas anglers, and well known for the size and quality of the fish in this peaceful environment.

Please Note: This is a popular trout fishing area where the natural beauty, wildlife, peacefulness and quietude are much appreciated. The landscape near the canals is gradually being refilled and restored. It is NOT a playground for Quad bikes.
