Purakaunui Falls

Purakaunui Falls




Frequently fronting postcards, Purakaunui Falls often competes with McLean Falls for the title of the Catlins' most attractive waterfall. This 15m waterfall tumbles in three tiers, giving it a certain grace and character that more than makes up for its lack of height.
