Nice place. The water fall and Opal pool are great. The narrow roads however are an absolute nightmare when lots of cars are parked on the sides of the road due to not enough proper parking. You can literally find yourself at an impasse. I found myself face to face with a ‘resident’ who was the biggest rude, moron, idiot I’ve ever met. I wouldn’t wish that encounter on anyone. I do find it funny that he has to experience that phenomenally bad traffic congestion every weekend when he needs to go somewhere though. Apart from the traffic issues and that ridiculous man and unfortunate experience it’s a great place to visit. Hope you don’t run into the resident clown.

This is not a waterfall that I would travel 45min out of Auckland to see. But if you are visiting Karekare Beach or Piha Beach, then you might as well see the falls too.
The main carpark is at 2 Karekare road. From here, turn right and walk towards Zion Hill Track (as marked on Google maps). The falls is a little further up.

Very scenic and beautiful falls if you like this kind of thing. 100% worthy of a short drive from Auckland as you obviously won’t find something like this in the city!! Small walk to get there but it’s worth it!!
There’s also small pools at the top of the falls that you can sit in and take in the view overlooking the falls, whilst the water flows over the edge. Very beautiful and great photo opportunities.

Just a short walk from the parking lot at the beach. There is a smaller falls first and then you get to the big Karekare Falls. The height is impressive!

Nice little waterfall with very easy access from the beach car park, small pool to swim in on a nice day. If you are here visiting the beach it's worth the short walk.

The Karekare Falls are a 5 minutes walk from Karekare car park. The walk is through rainforest and the falls are a pleasant spot.

Which wine tour included a stop at the falls?
Written 21 May 2019
Hi Dana,
WinePro is the name of the tour. John is the owner/guide. The van holds maybe 6 passengers so it is very small-scale and fun.
He packs a full day into his tour.
During our visit to Auckland, this tour was an absolute highlight to our entire adventure. John is totally awesome; he knows so much!
Do a search for WinePro and check out his website.
