So its a 90 minute walk each way from the start, and another 20-30 minutes if your walking from Paihia, so a long way! It is a nice walk though, not too steep, and you get some nice forest views etc. I don't reckon the falls themselves are that amazing, but I enjoyed the walk.
not far off the road it is well worth a stop to see these falls, quite a volume of water falling and you are able to get up very close to the falls down a small path.
The falls are a little way out of Paihai and can be approached by a circular road that runs out to the falls and then curves back to the Waitangi Treaty Grounds via the local golf club. It is a reasonable fill-in, but not worth a separate visit unless you want to just fill in time (like we did while...

The falls are quite pretty but there's a really ugly building behind them which it's hard to keep out of photos. Also the walk to Waitangi is long and boring (and then you have to walk back!)
we did the start of the walk. looked amazing. coudnt go any further due to rain. we drove round to the waterfal. quite boring really. only do this if you run out of things to do!
Okay what a way to wakeup then stroll down to the start of this perfect morning walk not a hard walk but a nice one then you arrive at this nice waterfalls not the biggest or the best but nce to sit by and soak in the fresh air then start your way back to town & dont do what...

If you are in Paihia, you simply must visit the falls, they look even better from a Kayak at high tide.
Not a lot of water flowing when we visited. We had a car & drove the loop (Pahia, Haruru Falls, Waitangi, Paihia) - it was about ten minutes between Haruru Falls & Waitangi (great views). Haruru Falls isn't a waterfall I'd rave about ..... it's more along the lines of 'just another waterfall' - nice to see & worth taking...

Scenic falls conveniently located not far from Paihia. Excellent walk from Waitangi through mangroves and native bush (takes up to 2 hours). Note that diving in and swimming here are not advised owing to the rapid flow of water. I believe kayaks can be rented though.
