Walking and driving instructions
|
Coal Creek Falls is roughly a 10-minutes drive away from Greymouth. The road surface is always sealed. From Greymouth take SH-6 northbound, then in Runanga turn right onto Seddon St. Turn right onto Ballance St and drive up to the end of the street where you will find a parking without any facilities there. A 1-hour return Coal Creek Falls Track leads to the waterfall's base. The track is relatively easy, no climbing required, but unfortunately not suitable for wheelchairs due to a number of stairs. There are a few benches along the way, and one at the end of the track with awesome view of the waterfall. The waterfall is a very popular among locals, and it’s a very popular swimming spot in the area. The official sign is misleading saying '2 hours return', but at the same time the map (5 minutes from beginning of the walk) say '1 hour return'. |
