Otukou - 915 Te Ponanga Saddle Road

Parking for visiting a Maori site, away from the road and with no signs prohibiting overnight parking. Partial view of the mountains. Poor or non-existent phone reception. An outdated dry toilet cabin, but it exists. I spent one night there as a solo female traveler and felt comfortable with another car (another solo female). Quiet. There is a permanently open gate at the beginning of the access.
