Normally the 1st September is considering to be officially the first day of Spring but it feels very mild here, so much never-ending rain but on the one day last week it temporarily stopped we managed to visit a local spot.
Piroa Falls is a place I use to take my children to when we lived in Maungaturoto, a town about 15 minutes away. A popular spot over Summer, lots of local people cool down here.
Over Winter it's dead quiet, too cold to be swimming here - it's nice to see it so pristine and clean at this time of year. I'd forgotten the gravel road we drove on to get there and how beautiful the scenery is.
I hope it stays that way but I know as the weather warms up and more people come here it will be more and more used. Sometimes I wish places like this were never discovered so they could remain untouched.

Beautiful!
Just the place to go and breathe
We must go there. What is the road like - I see it goes from Maungatoroto through to S.H.1 near Waipu.
What a beautiful spot. I bet it was fun to visit without the summer crowds. I liked that little video.
Very lovely! It would be great to visit. Thanks for sharing.
Oh so beautiful and majestic! Lovely photos ^_^
Happy Day to You,

Such a pretty and beautiful place. It would be nice just to sit and listen to the falls, very relaxing.
wow, that is a beautiful waterfall. Many levels to explore :)
What a beautiful spot Amy, enjoyed the video. You can tell by the waterfall and current of the river that there's been a lot of rain. Yes, it would be nice if this was a secret place ☺
I love going to Piroa Falls. When I go with others, there is always a discussion on how they got the concrete picnic table there (helicopter, carried in, other?)
