Beautiful location, pathing down is extremely steep and honestly not for the feint of heart.If you're like me, don't forget your antihistamines... my eyes and body itching all over afterwards!Otherwise, great spot for a relax! I walked across the other side, over the shallows and ended up having a small picnic with my girlfriend for NYE. Romantic little spot if there's nobody else there!

Easy short hike, fairly steep however, and around 15 minutes. Water is freezing, even in summer, but well worth it! Crystal clear and clean. There is a rope to pull yourself up the waterfall itself, and it's quite a fun jump down (just don't dive as it's not too deep).

It is like a hidden spot but getting popular. If you follow the tracking road you will see the beautiful water and turn left at the end of the tracking road you will see hidden(?) diving spot as well.After sunset there will be some bugs and mops and water is pretty cold so try hot summer daytime.It will cool you down =)This is a really lovely spot!

Amazing waterfall, with a massive pool to swim in. The hike itself is about 20mins and DO NOT HIKE in sandals !!! The path itself is fine but the hike can be dangerous if you’re not fit enough or unsteady on your feet! It’s very steep especially climbing back up to the car park ! someone fell off the tracks when I went so you do not want to get trapped there and wait for fire fighters to rescue you.

Very steep descent. Many of the trail have been swept away by flooding.

Amazing spot. Great for swimming but is cold (it’s a river) and does get deep quick so really young kids would need close supervision. Easy to walk across (fording river) to opposite bank which is sunny side in afternoon. Is 30min round trip but very steep up/down with lots of steps and stairs (man made and uneven tree roots) - so not for the unfit.Pretty tidy when we were there but idiots still need to take out their rubbish (and council obviously does little weekly maintenance).

A very low key spot just on the outside of te puke. A nice crisp and clear fall with plenty of room for swimming, doesn't get very busy either. Once you park at the top I suggest making sure no valuables are left In the vehicle as it would be very easy for people to steal while down at the fall. The track does require a Decent amount of fitness as it is steep the whole way down and coming up is a very hard incline and can be very challenging at times so I suggest only going down if your willing to take the challenge getting back up.

Beautiful swimming hole with a nice waterfall. It’s an steep downhill path so reserve some energy for going up to the car park.We did it with our 4-years old without any issues so I would say that it’s kids-friendly.Water is crystal clear and cold, so you can take your snorkel gear and (desirable) wetsuit.There are no facilities of any kind, so please take all the rubbish with you.

The place is peaceful and relaxing! But, the sidewalks are damaged by the last cyclone, there are many felt trees that interrupt the sidewalks. It is not recommended to go with kids at this time. Check with the Tauranga Council the actual status of the area. You need a good level of fitness and watch your step, there are steep places!
