Whakatane

Waterfall sights in Whakatane

  1. A

    Wairere Falls

    Tumbling down the cliffs behind the town, picture-perfect Te Wairere (Wairere Falls) occupies a deliciously damp nook, and once powered flax and flour mills and supplied Whakatane’s drinking water. It's a gorgeous spot, and goes almost completely unheralded: in any other county there's be a ticket booth, interpretive audiovisual displays and a hotdog van!
