One of the most charming waterfalls in New Zealand, Rere Falls, surrounded by farmland, is located on the Wharekopae River. The waterfall is accompanied by a perfect picnic area and has a fantastic swimming pool near the falls. Rere Falls is roughly a 3-hours drive away from Napier or 45-minutes from Gisborne. The road surface is always sealed. From Gisborne take SH 35 westbound, turn right onto Wharekopae Rd and follow it for 30-minutes until you reach Rere Falls car park with toilets and a very nice picnic area. Its just 1-minute easy walk to reach the waterfalls base, although the waterfall may be seen even from the carpark.
