You can head up the Mokau Stream from the Mokau DoC campground to get to the base of Mokau Falls.  WAY better than seeing the falls from the car window!

    There are no more rowboats for hire at Lake Waikareiti after a recent incident!

  2. Dorien Mampaey Says:

    No more row boats for hire as of April 2019 due to vandalism. The boats are still there, chained up, but there’s no oars and no way of getting a key…
