Sometimes, you are lucky enough to visit a truly magical place; Kuratau Lagoon is Located near the southern edge of Lake Taupō in New Zealand and is a natural lagoon shaped by the Kuratau River as it flows into the lake. Fed by surrounding catchments and rainfall, the lagoon’s calm waters provide an ideal spot for swimming (the water is quite cold) or simply appreciating the surrounding native bush and birdlife. The area is stunning as the light reflects off the still water, giving it an ethereal feel – in water, it seems to glow, creating a peaceful, untouched atmosphere.
