We came here by luck, only because of a SH3-closing.
This is an overnight place at its minimum: a dark picnic area on a hill at a winding forest street. A graveled place only with one table, no water, no toilets, no signs at all but a little bit scary here in the middle of nowhere..

Thank you to Rankers Camping NZ app for guiding us to this off the beaten track tiny clearing perched on the hillside.
We were the only people there for New Year's Eve. Amazing panoramic view across the valley with Tararua Ranges in the distance (worth walking up the steep track at end to the reach the top for a full 360 vista). No facilities other than a table and benches. Only downside was an overflowing garbage bin.
