Bring some cut up potatoes, kumara and pumpkin to the Thermal Walk in Tokaanu. There are some pits in the hot water you can put your food in. Cover, come back in a couple of hours and voila your food is steamed – this is a poia, similar to a hangi but steamed, not smoked.

If you are looking for good beaches along the south end of Lake Taupo go to Pukawa, there is a nice reserve next to the boat ramp. The reserve has some nice big trees and seats for some summer goodness.
