      Description

      Lake Wainui is a small 4.8 hectare dune lake with a maximum depth of 10.5 m, located on the Pouto Peninsula. The lake is surrounded by pastoral land. A narrow riparian edge has recently been fenced to exclude livestock which should enable emergent vegetation to establish (source lawa.co.nz).
