Rere is a small community in the northeast of New Zealand's North Island. it is located in the upper valley of the Wharekopae River in remote country in the foothills of the Huiarau Range, inland from Gisborne. It is notable for the Rere Falls and Rere Rock Slide, both on the Wharekopae River.

Rere Falls, while not very tall at 5m, is a picturesque 20m wide waterfall. It is possible to walk behind its cascading curtain of water, although the rock face can be slippery.

Rere Rock Slide has been included in the NZ Automobile Association's 101 Must-do places for Kiwis.[1] It is a smooth, natural rock formation 60m long, at an angle of about 30°, over which the Wharekopae River rushes like water in a giant water slide. With a little care, it can be slid down on boogie boards, tyres and the likes.
