Whakatane County.—Blocks III and IV, Waimana Survey District.—Waimana Village.—Waimana Settlement.

Waimana Settlement is pleasantly situated in the Waimana Valley, within convenient distances from the Townships and Harbours of Opotiki, Ohiwa, and Whakatane, and the Village of Taneatua; it has a generous climate and a plentiful rainfall, and is fairly well sheltered from heavy winds.

The present chief access is from Taneatua and Whakatane by a dray-road down the valley of the Waimana, but other roads avoiding the river-crossings are being surveyed both to Taneatua and Ohiwa.

There is a good accommodation-house adjoining the village.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the Governor, this twentieth day of March, one thousand nine hundred and eight.
