Papakorito Falls is a 20 metre fan-shaped waterfall in the heart of Te Urewera National Park. The website describes it as one of New Zealand's must-see waterfalls, and the walk to the base is short and easy. The return track takes about 10 minutes, has no stairs, and is suitable for wheelchairs and strollers.
The falls are reached on gravel roads, and the website recommends a 4WD vehicle. From Rotorua the drive takes about 4.5 to 5 hours, and from Napier about 3.5 to 4 hours. The last stretch of the Rotorua route is about 50 km of winding gravel road, and the Napier route ends with about 28 km of gravel. Parking is at the end of Aniwaniwa Road, with no toilets there. Toilets and picnic tables are near the Information Centre, on the way in.
