Tokaanu Township is situated at the southern end of Lake Taupo, the elevation of which is nearly 1,200 ft. above sea-level. At present it is reached by coach from Waiouru, on Main Trunk line, or by steamer across the lake from Taupo Township. A road is now being constructed from Waimarino Railway-station to Tokaanu via Roto Aira, passing to the north of Ruapehu, Ngauruhoe, and Tongariro Mountains. When this road is completed, Tokaanu will be within about thirty-five miles of the railway by a scenic route unsurpassed for grandeur.

Tongariro River, which is within two miles of Tokaanu, is the angler’s paradise, and is said to provide the best trout-fishing in the world. A State fish-smokery has been established at Tokaanu.

With its hot springs and baths, its elevation above the sea, its location on New Zealand’s largest lake, close to the active volcanoes, Tokaanu is destined to be one of New Zealand’s health-recruiting resorts.

Potaka Township is at the Utiku Railway-station on the Main Trunk Railway, about five miles south of Taihape, and near to the Otaihape Farmers’ Freezing Company’s works.
