Punaromia (Tarawera Landing) is the closest access point to Lake Tarawera. The area is a great place for families to swim and also provides traditional landing and departure points for boats on Lake Tarawera and those wanting to reach Lake Rotomahana. You can take a short walk to the mouth of the Te Wairoa Stream, or the ancient Tuhourangi rock paintings. Trout fishing is also popular in the autumn months.
Planning your Wedding or next Big Event, why not have it at Punaromia. The Orchard, just 5 minutes walk from the Landing Cafe provides a wide open space, shrouded in native trees and bush to ensure privacy. Located next to the lake's edge, you will find beautiful views of the lake with Mt Tarawera providing an unbeatable backdrop.
