Getting to the site was not easy. We had to ask for a map at “Hasting Caves” where they told us how to get to the parking lot by car. Once there we started the trail. It is of medium-difficulty. It is advisable to go during times when there is not much rain because otherwise there is a lot of mud. We reached the waterfalls in 1 hour. They surprised me and my friends. The place is very nice and even a place to sit and hang out. Recommended

There was no information on distance or type of trail. Just said 4hours return. Attempted, got 500m then turned around, the mud was deeper than my Blundstones, broken branches everywhere. Not a nice trail. Probably better in summer but then there would be no waterfall? Duck hole lake was a better signed, more accessible and easier to find walk, spotted on the way to the falls trail. Surrounded by beautiful rainforest, was more about the journey than the destination for that one.
