Ruatahuna

The town of Ruatahuna is located in the northeast of New Zealand's North Island, 90 kilometres west of Gisborne, and 18 kilometres northwest of Lake Waikaremoana.

A small town in the upper reaches of the Whakatane River, it is in remote country and is surrounded on three sides by Te Urewera National Park. The area was the site of much action during the Maori Wars of the 1860s and 1870s.
