Beautiful falls in a picturesque location. If coming from Paihia, you can make a pleasant circular journey, walking or cycling along the scenic but hilly Kerikeri Road and then turning off to the Falls, then going back to Paihia via the Waitangi Treaty grounds.

We hiked from the Waitangi Treaty Grounds to Haruru Falls. The hike is about 5 km (3 miles) one way. It is a relatively flat trail through forest which includes an interesting raised boardwalk through mangroves. The Falls themselves are pretty but not mind-blowing --...More

Nice change of scenery & only 5 -10 mins away from Centre of Paihia. Plenty of water flowing under the bridge today to spill over the rocks to make a nice waterfall. Cascades down the short slope, sounds lovely as it rushes & gurgles away....More

Definitely much nicer falls to visit in the Summer. Easy to access and a little busy. It was a bit small and seemed a bit smelly.

Not much to see in the summer as the river is so calm above the falls that families were just strolling about. Easily acessible within a short distance of the town

First a short drive from Paihia. You could spend more time by the falls, but id you are time poor and want to maximize your sightseeing adventures a quick pit stop wil get you some neat picks

Easy short stop on way in or out of town. Good photo opportunity and plenty of parking space for normal days
