General Description. Opening Settlement Lands in Otago Land District for Selection.

Rewi Settlement is situated eight miles from Taupiri and twenty miles from Hamilton by formed dray-roads. It was formerly part of Woodlands Estate, and consists more or less of drained swamp of very fair quality, with tea-tree scrub and rushes. The roads are all formed, and the fencing is good. There is not much grass on Section 7, but a considerable area of each of the other sections is in grass. The bridge behind the homestead will be removed to Section 1, and placed over Tauhei Stream at a suitable place. Section 2 contains two small clumps of bush useful for shelter, and is accessible from the road by a good bridge over Tauhei Stream. There is a creamery on the settlement.

Improvements.

All the fencing on the various sections goes with the land. The seven-roomed house, wash-house, and cowshed on Section 3 are valued at £440, and have to be paid for separately by the tenant.
