Purakaunui Falls, a photographers dream
If The Catlins did need a trademark feature to aptly define its beauty Purakaunui Falls would most likely be it. A photographer’s dream it has even made an appearance on a New Zealand postage stamp.
Framed by podocarp trees and native shrubs the three-tiered waterfall is positioned in a sublime setting. A pretty bushwalk takes you on an easy and relaxing stroll to the viewing platform. The Falls are especially impressive after a hefty rainfall.
