"Fantastic place to walk. There are different tracks for various fitness levels"
"Some great walks around the woods, loads of paths and routes to choose from. Most people seem to ignore the "keep dog on lead signs" but other than that a great walk"
"A hidden gem in the middle of Dunedin. Lots of different Bush walks of varying lengths & difficulty, so everyone can go and enjoy it. The waterfall is beautiful, the reservoir is picturesque. Highly recommend."
"We parked at the end of Cannington Road and walked down to the waterfall. It was a short walk through the forest, although moderately steep in places. Cool to see a tui on the way down. The waterfall was beautiful - amazing that we have such a great waterfull right in the middle of the city! Smaller but prettier than Nicols Falls. We stayed for about half an hour and nobody else was there, even though it was a warm summer evening."
"Not a quantity but quality waterfall... I love going to Small Drinda Waterfall Ross Creek every weekend"
