Rere Falls
A curtain-like waterfall about 20 metres wide with a drop of around 5 metres. You can walk behind the falls, and it is a popular summer spot for picnics and swimming.
About 2 km downstream from the Rere Rock Slide, the river pours over a broad rock ledge to form a curtain of water roughly 20 metres wide. Visitors can walk into the rock cave behind the falls and pass through the water curtain for photos, and the pool below is good for swimming. There is a car park, picnic area, and toilets by the road, and admission is free. It is about an hour's drive from Gisborne on a sealed rural road, and it is often combined with the Rere Rock Slide and Eastwoodhill Arboretum as a day trip.
