....The River....
The beautiful Waihou river, with its clear flowing waters, is of itself a popular attraction to Te Aroha, its banks are lined with graceful overhanging willows, and native flax and bush, which adds charm and excellence to the landscape. It is much enjoyed by the youthful swimmer and also by the soft-hearted lover, who delights to loiter in the 'shady bowers of the over hanging trees. Boats of every description are on hire at the boat-house. An interesting view of the river appears on the opposite page. An excellent picture of the coach road (in coarse of construction) connecting Te Aroha with the sea coast, appears in another part of this Guide.
