Discover Pohuehue

For a trip to Pohuehue, visiting Pohuehue Falls can be a specific reason for an outing. The Waterfall Track and the Moirs Hill Walkway provide two different trail names. If you are looking for hotels in Pohuehue, it helps to consider the waterfall visit as part of your travel plans: first decide whether this outing is central to your stay or an additional activity.

Waterfall Track and Pohuehue Falls

The Waterfall Track follows the Pohuehue Stream; a side path leads to Pohuehue Falls and a viewpoint. The waterfalls are part of the Moirs Hill Walkway. These two names help distinguish the trail from its designation: the track name refers to the path along the stream and the turnoff, while the walkway name places the falls on the walkway. If you specifically want to visit the waterfalls, you can use the Waterfall Track and the side path as clear landmarks.

Access to Pohuehue Falls is via an easy, well-signposted trail through regenerating native bush. The walk takes about 20 to 30 minutes. There is a viewing platform above the waterfalls. The trail and viewpoint give your visit a clearly defined destination; the time estimate helps you fit the outing into your travel day. Check current trail conditions before setting out.

Trailhead and directions

The entrance to the Waterfall Track is signposted on the western side of Old SH 1, also known as the Twin Coast Discovery Highway. It is just north of the Pohuehue Viaduct, between Waiwera and Warkworth. The details work together to help you find your way: the western side identifies which side of the road to look on, the viaduct provides a more precise reference point, and the two towns give the geographical context. Look for the signs to the track to make sure you are on the right route to the waterfall.

Old SH 1 is also called the Twin Coast Discovery Highway. When checking directions, keep both road names in mind so the signposted entrance remains clearly associated with the Waterfall Track. The location north of the viaduct provides a specific reference point.

Finding a hotel and planning your outing

Decide whether the outing will shape your stay or be an addition to your other travel plans. The walking time gives you a practical basis for planning; choose the other features you want in a hotel according to your own travel needs. Pohuehue remains your search destination, while the Waterfall Track is a point of reference for your outing. Then compare specific hotels based on your priorities.

Compare hotels based on the location, room type, and price that suit you. This lets you include a visit to Pohuehue Falls in your travel plans and choose accommodation to suit your own needs.
