Percy Waterfall, Lower Hutt
Perhaps the highest waterfall in Wellington Region, Percy Falls is found in Percy Scenic Reserve, Lower Hutt. The waterfall is easy reachable via a well-maintained Waterfall Walk through the bush (not suited for bikes or buggies). Percy is one of seven Waterfalls in the Wellington region and it is my intention to visit all of them by weeks end.
