The Whataroa Falls are a bit of a hike (2 hours return) along the Otanewainuku walking tracks, but are totally worth it. The walk itself is stunning taking in native bush, Mt Otanewainuku and of course the falls, and also the pool at the base of the falls is a popular swimming hole.

You’ll find this magical place on Mountain Road. Off Oropi Road. Depending how fit you feel there’s a 30-minute Rimu Loop Track or 2-hour walk to the Whataroa Waterfalls. If you want to swim slip into the deep swimming hole beneath the falls. Although you won’t see them during the day the mountain is a great kiwi hangout.
