Tarara Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

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

The initial listing did not note that sheets and towels were not provided, this was a little challenging for international travellers. Otherwise a great location for exploring the Caitlin’s.
