from reviewers:

'Great DOC managed tracks. I did the falls walk out to the 1st waterfall and then the botanical walk. Took 2 hours. There's a great spot at the 1st waterfall (Greg's bench) for lunch. The botanical walk was a little overgrown in places but a well marked track with benches at regular intervals. A little muddy here and there so definitely would be slippery after heavy rain. There were information panels on some trees which was interesting. V quiet, I only saw one other person out there. There's a small carpark, enough for about 5 cars. No toilets, no phone coverage and no dogs (kiwi protected area).'

'Absolutely Beautiful Hiking Trail. A not so touristy trail but yet very magical. You can really take your time on the trail, there are a lot of resting places and benches on the trail which is not very common in NZ. On the trail you can marvel at 20+ waterfalls and some majestic old trees. The waterfall path and the tree path are already challenging enough and take at least 2 hours (with breaks).
