Rangatira Park

Taupō

Huka Falls is one of the most powerful waterfalls we've ever seen. Every second up to 220,000 litres of water gushes through the gorge. Besides that the best time to visit, in our opinion, is when the sun is about to set and the sky is painted in purple! #HukaFalls #LongExposure #Waterfall #Sunset #Nature #NewZealand

If you are somewhere around Lake Taupo and you are looking for a camp, come here at the Reids Farm. Waking up just one step from the river is really nice way to start a day.

Nice and quiet hotel, conveniently located close to the town center. We paid to upgrade to a lakeview room and it was worth it because the view over the lake is beautiful!
