Piroa Falls is a 20m stream of water cascading into a basalt gorge. These falls are not ones that will make you oooh and ahhh...but if you come on a sunny day the swimmable pools fringed with warm smoothed rock will add up to beauty and fun. A picnic table next to the pool begs some picnicking. A rough path climbing to the top of the falls begs some adventuring. Anyone caught kissing on the rock in the middle of the top pool deserves an NZ Frenzy prize... email me a photo!
