Hawke’s Bay: Lake Tutira

A serene escape with cultural significance

Lake Tutira (Tūtira), and the smaller Lake Waikopiro (Waikopirō) are located approximately 50km north of Napier. Lake Tutira is home to an abundance of wildlife and is a popular fishing spot.

Both lakes are surrounded by magnificent trees that display awesome colours in autumn time.  Mornings are often misty and calm, which creates lots of opportunity for moody photos.
