Check out 2 waterfalls and a rockslide near Gisborne: Rere Rockslide, Rere Falls and Te Reinga Falls.
Rere Falls is over 10 minutes up Wharekopae Road from Eastwood Hill National Arboretum. The falls are 10 metres high but it is the width which makes them more interesting. They can be seen from the carpark, or walk down to the base of the falls for a picnic and swim.
Continue for another 2 or 3 minutes along the road to the Rere Rockslide. This is exactly what the name says it is – a 60 metre sloped section of rock down which the Wharekopae River runs, which you can use as a slide. But you need to be prepared with something to slide on. A large piece of cardboard may even do the trick, if you are brave enough to try it!
If you have the time, you can also visit the beautiful Te Reinga Falls. Head back towards SH2, then take Tiniroto Road to the falls. It takes about an hour and 20 minutes from Rere to Te Reinga or less than an hour from SH2.
