Enchanting waterfall framed with native forest and rock. The end section to the waterfall was a little difficult with steep metal stairs attached to the cliff face. Overall the walk was very well maintained with sturdy limestone stairs in the beginning section. A lot of the track is downhill/uphill. Good carpark, signs, cafe and toilets at the starting point.

Fantastic waterfalls with small swimming spot directly under the waterfall, reminded me of a shampoo advertisement!! Very steep hike down the valley with several wooden ladders and stairs, and obviously it seemed steeper going back up! If you’re not fit don’t attempt it.

Very short but tough walk down to the falls, but some very nice views and a place to swim at the base. Unfortunately a lot of people abseiling meant we couldn't swim in the top pool, which is the best place to swim. Also it gets pretty busy so go early in the morning so out of peak times to find parking.

Great walk, took us about an hour down and back. Such a beautiful spot. You can do abseiling and canyoning here. It’s a shame part of the track is closed past the main waterfall. Would recommend stopping by Conservation Hut Café before or after your walk.

Stunning spot. The walk down is quite steep but most of it is stairs and fairly even. There are multiple waterfalls along the way down, which makes the whole area really scenic and the rainforest setting is beautiful. Definitely worth the visit!
