The waterfall is in three parts, an upper classical ledge waterfall, about 6 metres (20 ft) of fall, followed by a cascade leading to the lower falls, another classical ledge waterfall, about 4.5 metres (15 ft) in height.[3] The waterfall is a short distance off of New Boston Road, about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) from the community of Catalone.
