Tutira

Tutira (Māori: Tūtira) is a village in the Hastings District and Hawke's Bay Region of New Zealand's North Island. It is located on State Highway 2 between Wairoa and Napier.[1]

Much of the area was surveyed by Herbert Guthrie-Smith, who farmed 60,000 acres (240 km²) surrounding the lake.[2] Guthrie-Smith, a naturalist, published the popular Tutira: the story of a New Zealand sheep station in 1921.[3] Today, a camp is run at the site of his homestead.[4]
