Nice place to see. That's a pity that there is no path upstairs to see waterfall from the top.

Nice setting but nothing exceptional especially didn't follow Google Maps which takes you to another place look for the roy factory you have a car park to park

Beautiful waterfall! What is also nice is there are a lot of benches and tables under the trees. The only disappointing thing is there needs something to be done about the broken bins since waste is laying everywhere.
