The Purakaunui Falls are one of the most beautiful waterfalls in New Zealand outside the mountains. Down in the Catlins it's off a gravel road past Papatowai. It's a bit hard to find online or concretely on a map, but there are yellow street signs everywhere pointing you there, so just follow the yellow signs and you'll get there, then its a quick 20 minute walk down to the falls

Top Tarara Hotel Reviews

The Kaka Point Motels

10/10 Excellent

"Owners were great. The room was very clean and nice and the views were amazing."

Kaka Point Luxury Spa Accommodation

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely place to stay. When we arrived, the property was very clean and looked newly refurbished, but the most stunning was the panoramic view of the ocean. Usually we eat out when we’re on holiday but it was so nice in the property that we went to the grocers in the next town and cooked for ourselves. Then walking along the beach just across the road. The sunrise in the mornings are a joy to watch. A few basic supplies were also left for us. Well done to Lisa for a most enjoyable stay :)"
