The area is beautiful. The walks we did were pretty good. Two different waterfalls on two tracks right next to each other. HOWEVER, the review was asking for the visitor centre... Which was no where to be found. The Google pin takes you to a lake holiday spot not a visitor centre. There's a sign pointing to the visitor centre further up the road, but this just takes you to a small turning circle (and the end of one of the loop tracks). All the toilets we found were locked too. Place is poorly signed. As a place of natural beauty this place is wonderful. But if you're expecting anything like the well signed tracks and national parks elsewhere in the country you will be out of luck

Followed the trail around Lake Waikaremoana and was captivated by the ancient forest of Te Urewera. It was fantastic to spend four days immersed in this special area, appreciating the beauty of the native bush and birdlife. The track around the lake is relatively flat, with just a few ups and downs. You can take a side track to see Korokoro Falls. Climbing up to the highest point requires a reasonable level of fitness. You'll be rewarded by spectacular views from Panekire Bluff.
Visitor centre was pretty new, however requires cobwebs etc to be cleaned from the outside. Pretty basic stuff, and wouldn't take much effort to make it a stunning facility. Inside it is great with good service. Wifi available here although intermittant and cuts out totally about 7pm.
It's sad to see where things have got to here over the last 15 years. The visitors centre is disinterested in tourists and providing information. Waikereiti use to have boats for hire to use on the lake, they just appear to be rotting away at the lake, with the excuse that they have been vandalized, looking back at our stays log books that has been the excuse for 7 years. Such a waste of an awesome fishing spot, the area as a whole is one of nz's gems in regards to natural beauty.
Great building. I can see how it would be very useful to the community. Closed when we stopped by on the weekend.
Didn't really seem to want to know us, shame DOC has abandoned the area as noone at the visitor centre was keen to welcome and help visitors appreciate what the area has to offer.
