If you like delicious ribs, steaks and burgers then you'll love the Lone Star. My favourite is the Dixie Chicken...It's to die for.

Parks & Nature

Take a Water Taxi from The Landing which drops you off the other side of Lake Tarawera at the start of the trail. Follow the river to where it disappears down an enormous sink hole, walk down the other side to see the river re-appear as a spectacular waterfall out of the cliff face.
