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.

We started in the early morning. The walk is not too hard if you are moderately fit. The view on the top is amazing and you can easily get the best photo.

Great walk and not too difficult. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun walk with friends or family. Beautiful view up the top and varying landscapers align the walk

This is a reasonably steep walk up to the Rocks, but is totally is worth it for the gorgeous views and not too arduous. The walk back down is also much easier and quicker.

We came up, not knowing what to expect. The walk from the car park is largely uphill, not too steep but it gets your heartbeat up. The views along the way are okay, with some nice banksias, large rocks, and the occasional glimpse of the valley below.
Then, all of a sudden, we came around the corner and this majestic view opened up before us. We could see all of the valley below us, stretching from maybe Gerroa down to Jervis Bay. It was all laid out like a beautiful quilt. Then over the other side you could see down towards Kangaroo Valley, with beautiful rock faces glowing in the sun.
The rocks which give the place its name, the funny naturally formed tables and chairs, are interesting, but my eyes kept coming back to the view.

A steep climb, but well worth the effort, the view is amazing you can see so far and feel like you are on top of the world - make sure you take water with you!

We arrived at 8:30 in the morning after days of heavy rain. The drive was not well sign posted and the parking unclear as we were the fist visitors of the day. Basically the entrance is a small path near a private driveway gate and you need to park in small alcoves on the side of the road a little further down the hill. The walk to the top was 30-40 min. It was not raining but the ground was very wet slippery mud and many paths were covered in deep puddles that were tricky to avoid. Leeches were prevalent we had 5 encounters but through some miracle managed to detach them from our shoe before they attached to us. The walk would have been much more pleasant and easier if the previous days had not been so wet. The views were breathtaking and worth the leech scares and puddles. We stayed at the top about 1 hour.

Sign says 3hr return trip but it takes way less than that. Can be quite steep in some sections and is slippery when it’s been raining. Great short walk. Would recommend doing

Highly recommend this bush walk. It is steep in sections but easy if you go slow. The view from the top is breathtaking even on an overcast grey day.

Took a little over an hour going up slowly with a 75 year old walker. Some scrambles/clambering required. Path not clearly marked, but we worked it out without a map.

How would someone with heart issues cope with the up hill walk?

I would seek medical advice. I am not young but I am fairly fit. So for me I enjoyed the endorphin rush. However, please seek medical advice. If there was a problem then access by emergencies services would be severely delayed.

I notice that one of the contributor suggested wearing long trousers during the hike due to bushes. In the coming summer shorts would normally be better for normal walks and I did saw peoples wearing shorts to the rocks on googled pictures. Wonder whether trousers is really a must as I need to plan my wardrobe for my hike next week. Will be thankful for your feedback.

When we last walked it over Easter 2016, the track was pretty good.
There are, like most tracks, sections where you might get the odd overgrowth / overhang but I wouldn't be too concerned. The section of track towards the top cuts through an area of fairly dense ti tree (I think) and this is probably the bit you are most likely to get any sort of issue with scratches or maybe an allergic reaction?
Myself and 3 of my kids all wore shorts with no dramas and quite a few fit young joggers do it in shorts.
I'd be more concerned with snakes now the weather is warming up.
