Lot 7, Block V., Cheviot Survey District, generally known as the Cheviot Bush Section, is situated on the north side of the Waiau River, about two miles and a half above its mouth, and about one mile eastward from the point where Swamp Stream (Cheviot Estate) flows into the Waiau River. The section consists of hilly country, broken by the gullies of streams flowing into the Waiau River; the south-western portion of the section is partly covered with bush, and the remainder is fair open tussock land. A fire has recently passed through a portion of the bush land, and this can now be profitably laid down in grass.
