    The parking was a bit touch and go but vehicles left and we had the space to ourselves for 1 night.

    It was such an amazing place to experience.

    Could benefit from better signage as we parked at the top of the water fall and after climbing down the Cliff face found a path! Likely from another car park down the road, which I recommend making the effort to do so, if not you are likely to not experience the true beauty of this place.

    Day visit maybe.

    Nowhere youd want to overnight its just a gravel strip on the side of the road

    The falls are great to visit and thus spot is perfect to park your car.

    However, to spend a night it's just a very small area off of the road. Not ideal!

    Just a pile of gravel by the side of a quiet road, disappointing.
