The Fairy Falls are a waterfall in the eastern Waitākere RangesofAuckland, New Zealand.

Geography

[edit]

The falls are a part of the Fairy Falls Stream,[1] a stream that flows northeast towards the Stony Creek. The creek is a tributary of the Ōpanuku Stream, which flows into the Waitematā HarbouratTe Wai-o-Pareira / Henderson Creek.[2]

Access and recreational activities

[edit]

The waterfall is accessible by the Fairy Falls track, accessible from Scenic Drive.[3] This track was closed in 2018 due to the threat of kauri dieback,[4] and later by the effects of Cyclone Gabrielle in February 2023.[5] As of June 2024, the track remains temporarily closed.[6]
