Township about 1km north-west of Lake Ōmāpere, Northland. In 1845 Ngāpuhi chief Tāmati Wāka Nene built a pā here, and on 8 May he supported the British troops of Lieutenant-Colonel W. Hulme in their attack on the pā of Hone Heke near the shore of Lake Ōmāpere. The area was later settled by Canadian immigrants in 1864.
