The Fairy Falls are a waterfall in the eastern Waitākere Ranges of Auckland, New Zealand.
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 Harbour at Te Wai-o-Pareira / Henderson Creek. [2]
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]
