The historical sight wasn't that much but it's right by a beautiful lake that was filled with black swans and great views of the mountains ahead.

This place seems really deserted when we were here. You will have to walk about 5 minutes to reach the actual site. Beautiful scenery across Lake Rotoaira and beyond, the scenery alone already worth spending 20 to 30 minutes here.

Nice views of lake. Historic area. A 'flock' of more than 20 fantails swooped, circled and fluttered around me. Some settled on the ground as close a metre away. Never experienced such an event before.

2 min walk. Best views of the crossing from far. Highly recommended, look for little pathway down the grass verge for another point of view. Must stop.

Nice peacefullplace to stop for a little hike and absorb the environment. Wonderfull views over the lake. Further not too much to see. There are two sheta but nothing is left of the original maori houses , at least above the ground

A hidden gem, visited this place twice and at both times deserted, much to my delight! I explored the bush quietly and come up close and personal with several Kererus or the NZ mountain pigeons . Such beautiful, gentle, plump looking birds. They occasionally glanced at me but they quickly lost interest and tolerated my presence. Breathtaking views of Mutuopuhi Island and Lake Rotoaira, which on a calm day, the water is still as glass. Lots of swans, ducks and other birds. This place is historic and is designated as a Maori reserve site. It is also the birthplace of the now famous Haka.
