Lake Rotopounamu is a secluded lake in the Pihanga Scenic Reserve, in the Tongariro National Park. The 5km track is a well formed circular trail around the lake below Mt Pihanga. The name of the lake comes from the Maori words 'roto' (lake) and 'pounamu' (greenstone) which is the colour of the water. There is a beach half way round which is an ideal picnic stop.
We shopped around for best deal, we wanted a rental vehicle for 17 days, to travel the South Island. Ezi came through cheapest. We had a 2019 model RAV4, excellent condition, it was comfortable for 3 travellers. Easy online booking service; Ezi offers value for money...
