    Lovely, easy walk around part of the lake. Lots of seats and some picnic tables along the walk. Very beautiful on a sunny winters day. 5.2 km, about one and half hours return.

    Very nice road, lots of life in it with its ducks, owls and birds. At the end there is a picnic area and little beach to bathe in :)

    Take a stroll through these wetlands with a cruisy 5.5km walk and check out all the local birdlife.

    Nice walk along the lake. You'll come by a beach where you can go swimming :)

    A beautiful and easy walk along the lake side with views of the surrounding hills. It takes about 1-1.5 hours return (along the same track), starting through woodland before a well kept boardwalk through the wetlands and then a gravel track along the lake. There is a small hide with details of the birds you can see. We saw black swan, Canadian geese, pied stilt, spur-winged glover, pukeko, paradise shelduck, little and black shag, and a kingfisher!
