I love this walk, and I don't mind paying the locals rate for it. Would i pay the full price? Probably. It is quieter than a lot of the other tourist places and the beauty is outstanding. Crystal clear water, peace and quiet - no where better for a Sunday morning stroll.

What a wonderful hidden area. The Californian Redwoods are stunning and the peaceful riverside walk takes you to a unique hidden spring that is simple beautiful. The waters are stunning. I appreciate there has been controversy over there now being a charge to visit but this is private land and beautifully maintained which costs money so, as tourists, we were happy to pay and support this. Kani was very friendly and welcoming.

This is on the north side of the lake, opposite from the main town, but it's really worth visiting. You can easily spend a couple of hours strolling through this reserve, and there are also picnic tables on the secondary trail. Parking is convenient. Although in theory you can make a circle around the springs counterclockwise, the left side (by the golf course) is really not very scenic. Instead, go up to the headwaters, then comeback through the secondary trail. You can also visit nearby Okere Falls which is about 15-20 minutes away. Then come back into town and enjoy a nice meal on Eat Streat.
