These waterfalls are definitely worth the detour off the main road for. There is amble parking then a 10min walk into the falls. The path is wide and well maintained. There are glimpses of smaller versions of the falls as you walk along the path until you get to the main falls. Good view once you get there.

Well worth it, just 15-20 minutes each way. Nice forest easy gradient. Gravel road to get there, toilets at end.

Loved this commandingly beautiful waterfall just a short forest walk from the roadside carpark. The sound of it roaring as you stroll through the beautiful native bush precedes the majesty of it's three tier cascading fall. It was drizzling lightly but this only added to the ethereal experience. There were only two other vehicles in the carpark when we visited. Had the place virtually to ourselves. Magic!

A beautiful falls, easy to find the parking lot (which has a bathroom facility); about a 15-20 minute walk in, a bit strenuous toward the end. STairs are there but are dirt so they were very muddy. I’m not quite as stable as I used to be so I recommend a walking stick. BUt worth it. Really worth it. Much more attractive than the otherwise attractive Purakaunui falls....one of the nicer “small” falls I’ve seen.

As the other two left me a bit indifferent, I definitely enjoyed the sight of this waterfall! It’s right by the road, easy walk down to it, picturesque and lovely! You must stop if driving past!
