This waterfall is a beautiful spot for a swim and a relaxing picnic with the whanau. Located near Waiuku, this charming 6-meter-high horsetail waterfall is easy to reach and loved by locals. The pool at the base of the falls is deep enough for rock jumping, making it a fun spot for a refreshing dip.

You can access the reserve from the end of Waitangi Falls Road, so don’t forget your towel if you plan to swim. The falls are just a short stroll from the carpark, with grassy areas and picnic tables to enjoy. It's the perfect place to unwind and soak in the peaceful surroundings. To get there, simply follow the hidden track from the carpark.

A visitor review sums it up: "Wonderful piece of nature, well maintained and preserved. I visited in the first week of October, and it was a fantastic experience. There are picnic setups with tables and chairs, one above the falls and one at the base, so you can enjoy a beautiful meal with a view. Just remember, camping is not allowed here."

If you have some extra time, be sure to check out Sandpit Reserve in Waiuku, a hidden gem beach just a 10-minute drive away.
