    Park/camp at the end of the road.Did the loop in 2h.Start at the START sign (ok flat easy walk even after rain) but consider return the same way because the other half of loop was very muddy and last 1km just on the road.

    Good walk but wouldn’t recommend for kids younger than 7. We did it with a 7 and 9 year old. There were some dicey moments and a few trees on the trail that made things challenging.

    Very nice but also very exhausting! Definitely sturdy shoes and best hiking poles have it, because the way is very muddy and the steady ascents and descents have it all. The waterfalls are really nice and it's worth it!

    Great walk, really enjoyed it. Yes it’s little muddy but it’s not that bad, just wear proper shoes. The waterfalls are very impressive and beautiful. You might see the mystical forest goat if you’re lucky!

    The walk through the bush and the waterfalls are beautiful and really worth it. If you are lucky enough you get to see some wild deers. There was no one else walking that track, so it is not as busy as the other waterfalls. And it is a really big shame that some people can just not enjoy the moment and the nature around them

    Did the short walk. Was pretty. Worth a very quick stop although the toilets are nasty.

    Didnt think the falls were worth the effort of walking the very muddy track for 2.5 hours.
