Fantastic place, easy enough walk for a toddler (3yo) took 1:15 with toddler walking themselves most of the way. Pond at the bottom of the waterfall has a nice sandy bottom and is refreshing to wade/swim in. Walk has minimal dangers. Highly recommended.

DOC has 2 hour return but for us was 1 hour return. We went during winter and I believe it was the best time to go because of the volume of rain that makes this waterfall awesome. I really enjoyed the tranquility and beauty of this Fall. One of my top 5 waterfalls I have visited in New Zealand.

One of the highlights for my trip to New Zealand. Very large waterfall. Pretty much had the fall to ourselves. We even saw a giant eel! I would but this on your list if you're doing a road trip.

Wonderful walk in the countryside where you can see limestone and Sandstone cliffs, grazing sheep, bush and waterfalls. While you travel over unsealed road for about 6kms to get there, it is totally worth it. Be wary there may be prickles on the path in places and if its a hot day, take a sunhat and your water bottle

An amazing magical place, a relatively easy walk in, allow 30-45 minutes. A little steep in places, so ensure you have good walking footwear. The waterfall is impressive at 58 metres high, the pool is refreshing and safe, however deep around the edges and near and behind the fall. There's sheltered picnic tables at the car park and a long drop toilet (bring toilet paper and hand sanitizer). Also recommend you take your own drinking water and food/snacks and take all your rubbish out with you.The road there once off the highway is mostly gravel and narrow in places. Drive safely and enjoy. No overnight camping allowed.

Stunning waterfall, well worth the 45 minute walk each way. The track starts across farmland with huge rock formations - and lots of cowpats. The track is narrow and slippery in places - a hiking stick would be useful. Pretty bush, lots of bird song and crystal clear water.

Spectacular waterfall that flows over towering sandstone cliffs into a small pool. The track to Shine Falls starts in open grassy farmland that meanders under towering sandstone and limestone cliffs then passes through a patch of native bush in the Boundary Stream Scenic Reserve before arriving at the falls where there is a swimming hole and picnic tables. Stunning spot to go for a walk or even a swim if you are brave.

Easy 30 min walk in and out, take a raincoat even if sunny and pack comfortable shoes as track can get muddy/is uneven in places.Worth the drive!

Breathtaking. Done the walk in bare feet with a friend and it was a bit hard on the feet so we used the natural resources (leaves on the terrain) to improvise and make something to cover them.Would highly reccomend this 40 minute walk that takes you to a beautiful waterfall with ice cold water and spectacular views.
