Karekare Falls

Walk was nice and short. The falls is beautiful and the track is somewhat maintained.There was a good amount of litter and rubbish left on the track. Would probably be good for council or locals to provide a bin for the lazy people who can't take their rubbish back home.

Words, (nor the endless amounts of pictures and videos), can describe New Zealand's beauty that's seen everywhere. You have to see the nature with your own eyes, hear the endless calls from the multitude of birds that call these islands home with your own ears, and smell the fresh, crisp air with your own nose, in order to truly and completely enjoy everything New Zealand has to offer.

This is a great waterfall to visit. The mostly single lane road to get there is a bit annoying so be careful with that.Stop and park at the Kare Kare Car Park and then walk along further up the road to the Latrobe Track. The waterfall is a short and easy walk from the road.

Single lane small road to reach here.Park at the beach carpark & walk further up till you see a yellow trail sign.Quick 10mins walk to the fall. Recommended.

The height of the falls were quite spectacular. It was a bit weak, because we haven't had a lot of rain, but it was still worth it.The track is a bit hard to find. When you park in the main carpark, then follow the signs. Then you have to cross the little wooden bridge, and keep walking up that massive hill. There are no signs, but just keep going. Be careful, because there is no sidewalk. When you've almost reached the top of the hill, there is a sign foe a walking track off to your left. It doesn't say anything about the falls, but that's where it is. After about 5 steps, you will see the waterfall peeping through the trees on your left. When it's flowing heavily, you can see it from the roadside.It's quite steep, and slippery in places, so don't go with jandals. At the end of the downhill slope is a small waterfall. Off to your left is a comfortable walking track, that takes you to the main falls

Amazing place only 5 mn walk for the car park. You feel the beauty of NZ, the strength of the sea and its waves, the darkness of sand that reflect the greenness of the vegetation …And do not hesitate to take a walk to the waterfall that is another 5 mn from the car park. Beautiful.

Another amazing place to go for families in western Auckland. The waterfalls pours from the hill top to the bottom with an easy access to the pond at the bottom. Kids would definitely love to play around for a couple of hours there

Very easy and short walk. We enjoyed the small pools as you come in and climbed up to the others. Can get really busy.

About a 5 minute walk off the road to the falls. There is a smaller waterfall with pool on the way that you can have a dip in. Park at the main karekare beach car park, go over the bridge and then it's signposted with a yellow sign for the track. Well worth the little walk. (My 63 year old mum did it with no issues)

If you have time on your way back to Auckland stop for a short walk and maybe a quick swim in hot summer days
