Waitonga Falls was visited in the past myself just after snow fall.

Waitonga Falls is around 2 hours return including an explore up to the Falls themselves

Mangawhero Falls is right beside the car park, with just a short stroll to the viewing platform itself.

More photos from the trip will gradually be uploaded over the next month.
