Good not great

Nothing wrong with it, but I'm not sure I'd make a special trip. Worth tacking onto something else you're already doing in the area.

Better than the photos suggest

We went on a Saturday morning and stayed three hours longer than planned. Staff were lovely, the views are everything you've heard about, and the photos honestly don't do it justice. Will absolutely be bringing the rest of the family next time.

An Aussie classic for a reason

Born and raised in Melbourne and somehow only just visited. Worth the trip from anywhere in the country — pace yourself and don't try to do too much in one day.

Brought the kids — they loved it

The girls (6 and 9) had a brilliant time. Packed lunch, plenty of water, sunscreen — that's all you need. Knock half a star off for the drop toilets being a bit grim by mid-afternoon.
