4.5/5
Enjoyed our overnight stay in this all time favourite place Pretty outlook over the lake ( unobstructed in some parks 😊) 24/7 outdoor toilet.
Fantastic opportunities to see the lake water released up to three times a day - a spectacular view from three different sites. Blackberries (a plenty ) and raspberries ( a few ) free for the picking . Enjoyed this spot very much.

Ruakaka Beach Reserve
4.0/5
A great spot nestled behind the sand dunes right beside a gloriously long beach.
Pohutukawa trees provide shade on one side. Beautiful sunrise views Stars overnight with the smelter flames firing up on the northern vista. Cars driving closely past on the gravel road throughout the day but mostly slowly and mindful Public toilet clean and available 24/7.
