Piroa Falls

A winding gravel road, short bush walk and a safe swimming hole refreshed by a nearby waterfall – Piroa Falls truly fulfils the trinity for excellent afternoon outings. Turn off SH1 at the signpost at the bottom of the Brynderwyn Hills and 6km later it’s only a short 200m walk to the Ahuroa River and the base of the falls. The entire visit can be ticked off in half an hour if need be. But why rush? Linger longer; bring togs and a towel to enjoy one of the safe swimming holes, or pack lunch to enjoy at the shaded picnic table.
