Atiamuri Boat Ramp – Hidden Gem

What a stunning little place to stay. The reflections on the water here—whether it’s the lake or the river—are just beautiful, especially when it’s nice and calm.
There’s a great walking and biking track nearby, and if you’re up for a bit of exploring, you can wander your way around to check out the dam. Or… just do what we did and sit back and enjoy the peace and quiet.
Maggie, of course, made herself right at home—rolling around on the gravel and grass like she owns the place (as usual), and keeping a close eye on everything going on.
There’s space for about 2–3 vehicles, so it stays nice and quiet—but you do need to keep the boat ramp clear at all times.
