    Great falls. Probably the farthest viewing point of all the water falls we went to down south but an easy walk in through the incredible temperate rain forest although a bit of a steep incline on the way out for a bit. Well worth a look though.

    Two lovely waterfalls, not as spectacular as the other two around but if you love waterfalls you should stop here anyway! Beautiful walk through the forest, we also walked down to the first info board on the historic rail trail - an interesting read!

    Lovely walk through a lush green forest. A bit of a brief steep climb to horseshoe falls and also out back to the cars but definitely worth a stop. Takes 30-45 minutes rt

    Pretty track through a forest. The falls are nice, though admittedly not the most spectacular in NZ. Still enjoyed the walk.

    Not worth it at all. The other waterfalls along the road have been way more spectacular.

    The waterfalls are nice to go to if you're around! I wouldnt recommend doing the historic trail, there's barely anything historic to see.
