Drop by if you're in the neighborhood

Pleasant waterfalls, worth a look if you're nearby. Easy access from carpark. No swimming at the falls.

Spectacular

We visited just after some heavy rain so there was a fair bit of water going over. Easy to get to, and best of all, free to visit

Little falls

We drove to the falls as they were marked on the map as something to visit. They are nice enough falls, but right by the main road and busy with people. The water looks a bit grubby. It's nice enough to see, we only stayed...More

Away from it all

Lovely place to visit and spend a while. The park is huge and the falls are just the beginning of it. Plenty of water at the moment so even better. I took our lodgers with me for the experience

SMALL, SMART

Carpark is just close to waterfalls. If you feel like stay at nearby camping ground. you can rent kayak, stand up paddle. Go for a walk in nearby forest.

Worth a look

Small water fall. Worth the visit. Look for the chooks in the carpark. The rooster is in peak plumage at the moment. They all look very healthy.

Lovely environment

Have visited these falls a few times over the years and they always fascinate - restful but energising. The last time we visited we approached through the bush and the environment around the falls is what makes it so special. The air feels so fresh...More

These falls are a nice stopping off point on the road coming in or out of Piahia. They are not big by any means, but just nice.. There is a 5k walk to the treaty grounds from here which I did not do. If you...More

No overnight camping at the car park that I could see when visited last week. There is the Falls Motel & Waterfront Campground on Puketona Road, perhaps look up their website if you’re still interested in a paid camp site...
