I spotted this place whilst looking for Waipapa, top of the South Island, small place I think, but if I told my 6 year olds that we were going to visit this place they wouldn't stop laughing for a week, ( toilet humour ) sorry if I've offended anyone who lives there. There are several holiday parks in the area. It's next to a place with an equally funny name.

Planty, you are just too clever it was indeed an object or animal if you want a Taniwha (pronounced tanifa). Well done you!
