    Just 15min drive from the CBD and you feel like youโ€™re in a tropical forest. Peaceful and quiet and the waterfall is really beautiful. Thereโ€™s also a nice walk in the area.

    Can you imagine thereโ€™s a beautiful waterfall in a busy city?! Really cool little park. Nice for a good walk

    Serene and peaceful. Tiny waterfall at the back of this creek. Itโ€™s in the middle of University accommodation complex and also shared space with the Waterview Gardens. Lovely waking and cycling tracks around. 10 minute walk from public parking spots. Relaxed and calming atmosphere.

    Nice place right in the middle of Auckland city. This is a small natural waterfall. 5 minutes walk through Unitec. Thee is a small area where yo can relax with the family and have a picnic.

    It's a really good track to walk or run through, I went after days of rain and it was in good condition. Who doesn't love a good waterfall after a serious amount of rain. So nice to get away from the busy roads just by stepping into track and surrounded by trees, water and birds.

    The track is well maintained but the waterfall area needs lots of improvements. The area has no benches or tables, spots of muddy patches at the base. This place needs a revamp. The weird thing is that we took the untec route to get there. Going through the Untec complex reminds me of that movie Hostel. The old building and Mason Clinic is very creepy. We parked at 125 Carrington street. From there the waterfall is only 10 minutes walk. There was lots of water in the falls. Because the place looked very creepy. We just visited the waterfall and left that place. Plan well because the Oakley Creek waterfall is situated in the city and the traffic can be horrible. Enjoy.

    Parking is weird for this one, haha. So, I parked near the screenshot on Google Maps. The top pic in the screenshot is facing the direction where you walk to get to the walkway. Once you find it, in 30 seconds of walking, you'll come to the bridge, 2 mins walk from the bridge you'll reach the waterfall. Be careful when going to the top lookout platform though as there has been a landslide and the stairs and walkway are damaged.

    It's fantastic that we have waterfall in an urban area, Love to check it out. There is a peaceful place. I went to the waterfall after the heavy raining day 28/01/2023. Ther is a mud and landslide there, be careful cus it's slippery. At the end of waterfall point view, there is a continue way but it was cut down and the bridge was broken. You can see a timber pieces spread around. Hopefully thenweather get better and they can revocery it.

    This is a beautiful little waterfall. Perfect for a family picnic with the kids. It's a short walk so it won't tire the little legs. Quiet and peaceful. If your lucky, you may even spot some ducks.

    The uploaded photos make it look better than what it is. Itโ€™s true that it makes u park in an abandoned carpark with shark debris around and a slippy muddy pathway so I took a few photos and left.

    Some paths are closed and blocked by huge tree trunks from the cyclone. Tracks are still a mess since the cyclone in January 2023.

  • 1/5 Masha B. 6 months ago on Google
    This place is far from safe. The paths are broken, there's a lot of litter, and broken glass is scattered about. I walked alone with my small dog and felt completely unsafe. I would not recommend it.

    Amazing location inside Auckland city. There is trail path where you can walk and the sound of the water is very refreshing. The parking and entrance doesnt seem very obvious but you can figure it out as they have signages.

    An amazing place to visit one of nature's attraction; a Waterfall though less in hight it is indeed a beauty. Many decks and wooden paths damaged by 2023 storm and please avoid littering.

  • 4/5 Adam L. 5 months ago on Google
    The waterfall is nice, but the surrounding area needs restoration. The area is degrading and there were bins overflowing with trash which ruined what could be a very nice spot.

๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ Wonderful place for the kids, with alot of safety measures taken but be ware it's not an enclosed park and it might be risky if the kids will run out to the road. But generally it's a fun place for the kids and an open space for the adults.
