About this place
Enjoy a short walk to a magnificant tiered waterfall.
The route
A well graded and stepped walking track takes you down to a viewing platform that looks out to this magnificent tiered waterfall. At the waterfall, a section of track has eroded below the lookout. A barrier is in place and visitors should not progress past it. These falls are 11 km from the Mangaotaki Walk , which is also on Mangaotaki Rd.
