Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

It was a surprise to see such an attractive cascade in this beautiful Tree fern gully. It was well worth the extra 1.2 Km walk off the canyon track to see it.

We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at these falls. Nestled amongst multiple ferns these falls were worth the extremely muddy track. They can be accessed from the Sheoak camping ground car park, or you can shave 1.5 kms off the walk if you start from Sharps track, about 1 km on the right before you arrive at Sheoak car park.
Wear boots and be prepared for plenty of mud. There are other falls to be seen on route. The walk is easy and follows an old logging tram way.

We combined this walk with the canyon walk starting and ending at Allenvale car park and walking via Phantom Falls. The scenery includes wonderful forests, an amazing ferntree gully and :going down the rabbit hole: to enter the canyon

Won-Wondah falls, meh. Luckily only 50m off the track. But further on is Henderson falls. These were the highlight of our two days in Lorne. A beautiful walk through a fern-lined valley to reach them. Loads of ferns, and fungi, and plants, etc to look at. A macro-photographer's dream! And the falls are beautiful.

We parked at the sheoak picnic ground and did approximately 30 minute walk to the Won Wondah falls. It was such a let down. Could hardly see the falls due to the vegetation. We enjoyed all the other falls in the region but This was a disappointment.
We didn't go to the Henderson but if anyone is thinking of only doing the Won Wondah falls I would strongly advice not to do it.

I love a nice waterfall and this one didn’t disappoint. Make sure you wear enclosed shoes because when I went they got muddy.

A nice walk through the forest. Both falls worth seeing, though you can get much closer to Henderson's Falls and it is the better of the two. Can be extended into a circuit including The Canyon and Phantom Falls.

Beautiful, relatively easy walk through beautiful forest. Very scenic. Both falls are located near each other. It had been raining heavily before we went. It was muddy but the falls were simply spectacular after all the rain. Worth a visit. Recommend sturdy shoes/boots if it's wet.

this is a fairly easy walk to the falls. The falls had plenty of water running and we were the only ones there at the time giving it a very tranquil feel. Along the way you hear a few birds but nothing else, was quite eerie hearing absolutely nothing at times. A beautiful spot to visit.

Amazing spot north of lorne. Four waterfalls within a 10km radius. Well worth it. Even just visiting the Sheoak Picnic area is a great detour off GOR
