How to Get to Omeru Falls#

Omeru Falls is accessed via rural roads in the Auckland Region. From Auckland city center, drive north or take a coach toward the Rodney area and follow local signage-specific directions depend on starting point. Parking is roadside near the walking access; check local maps and landowner signage before crossing any fences.

Tips for Visiting Omeru Falls#

  • Local walking routes around the stream are more rewarding than trying to view the falls from the road-ask a nearby landowner for permission to cross private farmland if needed.
  • Visit after light rain for better flow; in drought the falls may reduce to a trickle.
  • Bring footwear with decent grip; the pool edges and stepping stones are slippery with algae.
