Whitecliffs Boulders

Went for a visit with my parents. We absolutely loved it. Amazing view of the mighty Rangitkei river. A secret world down by the river. The boulders were an incredible destination accompanied by some fantail friends. A slice of our historic past. Found this walk by chance on google maps but it was one of the highlights of our weekend in the district.

Amazing place magical in the bush. Felt very safe for a solo traveller Will recommend to others. The walk is not that steep it's expected for farmlands. Don't let the easy walk down and up put you off. Its easy! $5 per adult put into honesty box (please pay to help the family who own the land) and about 2 hour return walk to the boulders

Cool spot. Cost is $5 pp with under 12s free, on an honesty system. A bit slippery the day after rain so wear tramping boots, but I managed in running shoes. After parking, it's a walk across a paddock, then down a gravel farm track to another paddock by the river, then the boulders are in the bush. A toilet with paper and a basin justifies the small expense in itself. I had two 4 year olds who managed the descent and ascent with no real issues but there are two numbers you can call if needed.

Although reasonably easy to find, the last 8 km or so is on narrow gravel road. Take your time and enjoy the scenery. The walk itself is all downhill, about 30-45 mins. You'll be climbing that on the way back, so don't go on the hottest day of the year! The boulders themselves are in a lovely little bit of forest. Near the start is a nice flushing toilet, and if you follow the path, it leads to the boulders and a great little seating area where your can eat you picnic.
