    Lovely walk, you reach the waterfalls just about half way so perfect spot to sit down and have some lunch. There is a burger pod near the end as well to stop off and have some lunch. Plenty of benches along the way to admire the views.

      Depending where you hike from the uphill can be a challenge ! Be prepared

        Very fine set of falls where the water falls in a curtain that you can walk behind (though you will get wet, and it is not advisable when the river is in spate).
