Walking and driving instructions
|
Waitangi Stream Cascade is roughly a 45 minutes' drive away from Auckland City. The road surface is always sealed. From Auckland travel north on the SH-1, then in Silverdale turn left into Kahikatea Flat Rd. Follow it until the intersection with SH-16, where you need to turn right and stay on the SH-16 for the next 9 km. A huge well-signposted car park is on your right (sign 'Omeru Pā Scenic Reserve'). There are toilets (2 min walk from the carpark) and a well-maintained picnic area available there (2-5 min walk). An easy walking 5-10 minutes return track leads from the parking to the waterfalls' base, where you will find a fantastic swimming pool. From the parking, walk down the hill, then cross the stream via a footbridge, and turn right. Walk along the stream until you reach the cascades. There is a bench with picnic table available here. Continue on to the track (keep to the right) for 2-3 more minutes to reach Omeru Falls. Return via the same track. |
