context_page_description: Ātiamuri is a former hydro village in the central North Island of New Zealand. It lies alongside State Highway One about 45 km north of Taupo. It is bordered by the Waikato River and surrounded by pine plantations. Upper Ātiamuri, just north of the Waikato River, is a small community of lifestyle blocks, dairy farms and farm servicing businesses.
  Mount Pōhaturoa is a distinctive volcanic plug that dominates the Ātiamuri landscape. It overlooks Lake Ātiamuri which was formed behind the hydroelectric Atiamuri Power Station. This very visible rocky outcrop is significant in both Arawa and Ngati Raukawa history, having been a strategic observation post during intertribal conflicts.
