We visited the falls with friends who live nearby. It was early October, after a very wet winter, so the flow was much higher than in your photographs. We couldn’t get very close because of the spray. We were amazed by the falls – I’m sure they would be much better known if they weren’t so far off the beaten track. We found the access quite steep, but still doable with young children. There is a picnic area and a not-very-well-maintained toilet nearby.
Very impressive after a wet winter! (Waihi Falls)
The World of Waterfalls has been to this waterfall, which you can read about here.
