The property consists of good grazing-country, admirably adapted for sheep and cattle raising. The soil is of good quality, resting on papa and clay formation, and in the case of Section 6s on papa and limestone formation. Elevation ranges from 300 ft. to 1,600 ft. above sea-level. Each section has a good homestead-site, and most of them have some flat land suitable for agriculture. All have formed-road access, and are fairly well watered. Sections 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s, 6s, 7s, and 11s contain patches of shelter bush. The mail-coach leaves Martinborough every Monday and Thursday, and returns every Wednesday and Saturday. The settlement is connected with Martinborough by telephone.

The opening of this settlement provides exceptional opportunities for the right class of settler.
