Easy access to the parking lot. There is a cafe right at the entrance. A very gorgeous site. It's also near another waterfall.Full review by michaeldeligan

Hi I'm just wondering do you have to pay to see the waterfall?
A:
No, not when we were there, and from the look of it, not at other times either. There is a small building by the car park, that has toilets and seems to have a small office. But I don't see …
No, not when we were there, and from the look of it, not at other times either. There is a small building by the car park, that has toilets and seems to have a small office. But I don't see how they would enforce paying first, as access to the waterfall footpath is on the other side of the road, and no gates or such.
