Motutere, New Zealand
Motutere is a small township on the southeastern shore of
Te Poporo / Bulli Point, and approximately halfway between Taupō and Tūrangi, to both of which it is connected by SH1
.
In the 18th century, the township was the base of
Te Rangi-tua-matotoru, the paramount chief of Ngāti Tūwharetoa.[2]
Motutere is dominated by a camping site, one of the main spots for caravan camping along the shores of the lake. A popular short walking track, Waipehi Walk, begins at the settlement and offers views across the lake.[3]
