In summer weather a great place to cool off. Beautiful photo motive. (This is where the Lord of the Rings scene was shot, in which Faramir caught Gollum.)

A short walk (400m) to the Tawhai Falls. You can keep your car in the small parking lot. (Filmlocation The Lord of the Rings)

Here a scene of Lord of the Rings was filmed. But the short walk of 800m return is well worth it if you are not a fan of Lord of the Rings.
