Mount Damper Falls

MT Damper falls glory lies in the amount or rainfall she gets. When we went there, there was less water. You can view the Falls from the lookout. There is no track to go right down to the base to see the falls. We loved the rock formation around the waterfall. There is also another waterfall on the left when returning from Mt Damper Falls. However, there was no water. We just went to Mt Damper falls but next time will want to continue to the other falls. The track is all good. Not steep and bearable. There is a car park and you can not miss the turn off. You will enter sheep along the track but do not worry, they will run off. We were traveling to Kaponga from Auckland. You do not have to return the same way but continue on the same route and you will come out in stratford. Be prepared to drive on gravel road. It was not too bad when we did this.

Easy walk to some really nice falls. Pretty long detour off the forgotten highway, but worth the walk if you've got the time...

an absolute geological wonder - clay cliffs continually eroded by water provide this massive dome-like spectacle, truely an awe-inspiring sight to see. navigation of SH 43 can be tricky - sign is small and reception is patchy. would recommend a paper map just incase. the other smaller waterfall off to the right of the track is slippery in winter, so take care.

it was ok... not really worth the 20km ride along rough roads... falls was ok... and you can't really go down to the base of the falls...

Quite a drive in but well worth it, fairly easy walk to a beautiful waterfall. Amazing drive out via Tahora.

It was a rainy day and the waterfall it was just incredible! No touristic place and the forest around so nice!

Great walk, beautiful falls

Beautiful spot. Amazing waterfall. Photos don't do it justice. An easy 20 minute walk from car park. 10 minutes over the farm and then 10 minutes in the Bush.

Pleasant easy walk good well formed tracks some steep stairs

A good break on the shortcut route from New Plymouth to the National Park. It's an easy 12-min walk from the intersection/parking area to the upper lookout via a private sheep farm.
