Eatwell's Lookout is located on Pukekoikoi hill. Local landowners Rod and Kath Eatwell played a pivotal role in the creation of the Queen Charlotte Track in the 1980s by committing to the project and doing much of the heavy lifting alongside their children and grandchildren. Other landowners were inspired by the Eatwells' efforts and joined in. Despite a lack of funding in 1985, Eatwell & Co. continued to clear the gorse tracks. In 1991, Rod Eatwell attended the official opening of the Queen Charlotte Track and cut the cake. The lookout is named after the Eatwells and features a number of signs made by Rod himself.
