    The beach was quiet at this time of year. Good facilities with plenty of seats, reserves, walkway access ways, and parking.

    Pauanui Trail is a flat 10 km walk or bike ride around the estuary. Amazing views, bird life and forestry experience.

    Mount Pauanui is a 1.5hr return vertical climb up a hill that is more of a hike requiring good footwear and perhaps hiking poles. Stunning views atop this mountain peak. You do require a level of fitness to do this.

    wow this was stunning, i loved this waterfall, the walk was about 15 mins through amazingly stunning bushland, along the river and over fallen trees, not ideal for people with knee or walking issues as its muddy in places and overgrown in some. But we loved it.
    There were some kids jumping into the freezing water and it was so loud it was impressive that such a smallish waterfall made that noise.
    Recommend this to anyone wanting to connect with nature or just see the waterfall in all its glory!

    Great lesson with Hayden, beautiful beach with perfect beginner surf. Hayden was a fantastic instructor, encouraging, friendly and knowledgeable. We'd highly recommend to everyone.
