Boundary Stream Mainland Island Reserve

The falls is really hard to find and road is rough, be careful if you not driving a suv. But the scenery is good.

Best kept secret in HB, and good view to distance ratio hike. The drive up is the worst part, take caution. Recently hiked up with my 60yr old father, with a generous stop at the top, we were up & down in 2hrs.

Bell Rock at Boundary Stream is the most insanely beautiful place in New Zealand that almost nobody has been to. Even local people, I show photos to, and they are stunned. It's like New Zealands Grand Canyon, amazing rock forms. The bush walk to it is also surreal, almost deafening number of birds. An absolute magic place.

Great spot to go for a hike in some lush native bush. There are multiple options for hikes here depending on your timeframe, desired difficulty and fitness level. There is a large shelter here with picnic tables, lots of information panels and a viewing platform with a bird feeder. There is also a bird enclosure here but it looks disused.

Fantastic walk. Good fitness level is required. What a remarkable view at the top. No toilets and poor signage is a downer. Recommend everyone must see.

Really nice spot! The forest is so lush and green! The conservation work happening here is really cool! We'll worth a visit! Did walk 2 was really lovely with lots of information!

Great short hike to a spectacular waterfall. Road is gravel for the last few km. Easy walk for kids. You can swim right under the waterfall if you are a good swimmer and done mind cold water.

Full of native birds thanks to the post animal control. Stunning forest and streams.

great scenery & New Zealand Bush (flora & fauna): definitely worth the gravel road!I recommend going up to Bellrock - great views from there

Awesome place but some information for preparation: it is really remote, very quite and nature at its best. In total there are 4 hiking trails. The one, described in here as the bell rock is a tour of 3 hours. First 45 minutes are uphill, covered in the woods while the the other 45 minutes are exposed on top of the hill. Same way back. We had to turn back due to rain and wind but what we enjoyed so far was really great.The marked location on Google maps is not accurate and only is the entrance for the bell rock (trip4 also see pic with map from other post). Entrance to the path is another 200 meters west. If you come from the west side you will have to run 20km on a fire road but in good condition. If you come from the east side it will only be about 8km. Coming from the east you will find the main gate with all information first (see picture, point 1) and you will have to go another 5km on the fire road.
