This was a great little spot on our way down towards Waikaremoana.
There wasn't any space at Dotterel point but this place was a good second I'd say. Lovely and quiet, toilets were a bit unclean and didn't have any soap but a lovely location just off the beach. I would recommend.

This felt like a great find for us.
The road through Te Urewera was tortuous, but we reckon it was worth it! So quiet and peaceful, big shared spaces and the lake was awe inspiring. The place could do with a bit of sprucing up- just to neaten the edges, but all in all a great place to unwind. Shame the walking trails were closed but you can't always have everything! The owners were very friendly and had a convenient shop and petrol pump for those that underestimated the drive
