The Waiteti Viaduct (Bridge 179), 3 km (1.9 mi) south of Te Kuiti and 2.5 km (1.6 mi) north of the station site, was opened in 1889. It is the most northerly of the major viaducts on the NIMT. At its highest, the railway is 35 m (115 ft) above the road to Mangaokewa Scenic Reserve and the Waiteti Stream, a tributary of the Mangaokewa Stream, which flows into the Waipā. Te Araroa walk track runs through the Mangaokewa valley, near the viaduct. The nearby 200 ha (490 acres) Mangaokewa Scenic Reserve is mainly podocarp/tawa forest with nikau groves.
