Good bush walk, amazing views at the Lookout! The waterfall is a great place to stop for a refreshing swim.
Piha Track - Easy, a gentle warm up.
McKenzie & Quarry Track - steady incline to the top.
Turn off to the lookout, its only a 2min deviation. Great views of the Waitakere Ranges.
Centennial Track - The track descends down to the stream. A couple of narrow places to climb down rocks but a there is a rail to hold onto. Great view from that one spot too. This track took us all the way to Home track junction.
Home Track and Winstone Track - steady incline to Winstone track then descends a little.
Kauri Grove Track - Easy - this will take you to the top of the waterfall
Connect and Kitekite track - Easy - descends all the way to the car park.
Some of the track is rough to walk on and will be muddy and slippery during winter or after rain.
