Nice location to have a little rest

Beautiful spot to take a break or go for a little hike. Wild hens were strolling around the picnic area and gave us a funny time.

Another waterfall

If you are driving by, why not stop here? Easy to park. It looks like there could be nice walks if you have time.

We have seen this river in its full glorey in flood down to a trickle at times, it is where the locals swim and kayak and fish for Eels.

Never been so close to the top drop of a waterfall!!!

Definitely recommend. It is a beautiful flat walk/hike to the falls. I walked from the city center and it took about two hours to get there. It was very worth it and went really quickly. What I loved about it, were all the changes in...More

Odd I know but the car parks here have chickens roaming them. The waterfalls are picturesque and worth stopping to view

Not worth the time

Very ordinary small waterfall. Not worth the time to visit. There are much better waterfalls in the area to spend time at

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...
