Piroa Falls Track
Time: 10 min Distance: 200 m
The track is a short, steep zigzag down through bush into the gorge. You cross the Ahuroa River on a concrete slab bridge with “Rotary 1983” engraved on it (the track was built and upgraded courtesy of Maungaturoto Rotary Club). About five minutes after crossing the bridge, you can view the picturesque Piroa Falls from beneath.
The river has a number of swimming holes along the track making it a worthwhile family trip.
Waipu Gorge Scenic Reserve is signposted on SH1 at the foot of the Brynderwyn Hills. Follow Waipu Gorge Road for about 7 km until you reach the car park and track indicated by a DOC and AA sign.

4.5/5
Beautiful little spot.
The road is gravel but you can get there even with a motor home. The "car park" might be a bit tight, though. The waterfall is nice. The walk is super easy. And you even can have a little bath in the stream.

Great little spot just off the main highway down a slightly narrow dirt road.
Not necessarily well sign posted. If you don't look out you might miss it as there isn't really a car park. The road is just slightly wider allowing parking along the sides. Cute little waterfall down a pretty well maintained track. You can bring your lunch and sit at the picnic table at the end of the trail.
