The country was originally in heavy mixed bush, all of which has been felled and burnt, but there is still a large amount of firewood and sufficient timber for posts and battens left in the ground.

The soil generally is good, medium to heavy, resting on a clay formation, and where cropped has given good results.

The block as a whole is well adapted for dairying and fattening, carries a good sole of grass, has a good water-supply in the Tamaki and Tapuata Streams, and enjoys a copious rainfall.
