Spectacular site
Great and well maintained track. Wish the weather was better but even in rainy and wet conditions it is still worth visiting.

Nice short walk
Easy walk, few steep steps but path all the way. Boardwalk across marshy area. About hour in total, there and back.

Nice hike, easy walking, even for kids.
Nice walk. Pretty easy from carpark to falls. We didn't have kids with us, but should be easy for 5yo and above. We went past the Falls all the way to Blyth Hut. Good workout but not the most spectacular scenery in the area.

Beautiful walk
Excellent surface, lots of steps. Lovely bush, saw quite a bit of birdlife, especially titipounamu (rifleman). Part of it is a boardwalk with beautiful views of the mountain if the day is fine. The waterfall itself is very picturesque. Took just over an hour return.

Very pretty.
Very attractive short walk (1 h 30 mins inc return) though bush and alpine bog areas and culminating at a small waterfall. Of special interest is the boardwalk across the bog and pond area. Sit quietly at the rest point and listen to the frogs calling.
