The Longest Place Name in The World — Attraction in North Island

I’m not sure why this attraction is pulling a 4.6 star rating. Make no mistake, this place is literally just a paddock with a sign. There is no visitor centre, public toilet or cafe. It’s also a very long drive away off the beaten track. The location is very remote. The nearest town is about a 10 minute drive away, but that town is absolutely tiny, it might have a dairy.

There was no way to pull in from the direction we were heading and even if we could, the entrance was blocked by a camper that couldn't get into the carpark and by some tourists that were stuck in the mud in the carpark. The whole area needs some work and more highway signage if it's supposed to be a...
