There are eight springs in all on the block, of which two flow into the small lake south-east of Ratahi-iti, three into Ratahi-iti Lake, and three into Makarika Stream. There is a low hill to the southward of each group of thermal springs. These hills, with the rocks on the one to the eastward and some native bush on the one to the westward, make Te Puia picturesque, especially with the lakes and the undulating country.

The soil is fairly good on some parts of the township, the roughest portion being on the north-west side. Here the soil is not so good, and the land consists of low fern hills with a small portion of flat. The sections north of Lake Ratahi-iti have good soil, but they do not face the sun, and there is some swamp at the north-east corner of the lake. The soil on both sides of the Waipiro Road is good, both north-east of Lake Ratahi-iti and on the southern portion of the township. The country to the eastward is poor flat land with small manuka, fern, &c., and swampy in places.

There is a nice sweet stream of cold water close to the hot spring in the centre of the Waipiro Road; there is also good water near the Maori whare, north-east corner of the township.

The distance from the township to Waipiro Bay is about three miles, and to Tokomaru Bay about six miles.
