Tokaanu Township is situated near the centre of the North Island, and about half-way between Wellington and Auckland, on the main coach-road connecting with the railways running from these two cities. The land on which the township is laid out is nearly all flat, running down to the shores of Lake Taupo, the elevation of which is about 1,200 ft. above sea-level. It is proposed to build a light pier at the end of the street to facilitate the despatch of the steamer which runs during the summer to and from the north end of the lake. At the south is Maunganamu, a high hill, reserved for a park in the future. The large number of hot springs on the western part of the township has rendered this place famous, and, when facilities for baths are greater, it is sure to become one of the great sanatoria of the country, more especially of the southern part of the North Island. There are hot springs, solfataras, and salses of various kinds and degrees of heat, with many healing waters. Pure mountain-water can be readily brought into the township from streams which rise in the high range to the south of the township. Directly across the lake, and not more than two miles from the centre of the township, are the falls of Waihi, celebrated for their beauty, whilst the abrupt shores of Taupo, running thence northwards, offer to the visitor much pretty scenery, which in the Western Bay becomes grand. The lake has been stocked with trout, which are gradually spreading up the many streams that fall into it; and the great central group of mountains—Ruapehu and Tongariro—will shortly, it is hoped, be stocked with the red deer. Tokaanu is the most convenient place from which to accomplish the ascent of the mountains, which are fast becoming a resort of visitors.
The northern and eastern portions of the township comprise low-lying lands and swamps partly drainable, the latter covered with manuka scrub, and with grass in places; the soil is fairly good, and in parts is suitable for garden purposes. The south-western portion is situated on sloping ground commanding a beautiful view of Lake Taupo; the soil is light, but the sections are well adapted for occupation
