    A popular swimming hole with direct access from the car park. Very popular so expect to share the experience. Carpark is adequate and directly on the main road. You will find picnic tables with shelters and a toilet block. Free entry makes it a worthwhile dip on a hot day.

    At the moment the pools have been washed out and are pretty ordinary. There are toilets (with no lights though), and picnic shelters, but thatโ€™s about all thatโ€™s worth using. A long and winding road up to the pools with locals in Utes, SUVs and cars tailgating you the whole way up. Maybe nice when itโ€™s cleaned up but take care as the sign says there has been deaths and injuries on the slipper rocks.

    Had a good day. All amenities. Pet friendly. Best part, no internet, so kids and adults can interact with each other ๐Ÿ˜Š

    Awesome place to swim! Main pool is big and deep, with cliff jumping. Smaller pools up above and more pools downstream. Toilets and shade too.

    Excellent place to bring the family and relax for the day. Clean toilet facilities, ample shaded areas and space to run around. Multiple water falls, rock pools and places to explore. You can jump off the rock formations into the deeps water. Includes covered shakes and tables, no barbecues.

    Lovely area by the creek. Picnic, BBQ area & public toilets. Little Cafe across the road seeking coffee& basic food. Very friendly. The creek was a bit low , but lovely pool area to swim if warm.

    Parking free and close by, water is cold very cold but lovely and clear, very rocky hence rock pools! Nice for a quick dip and a cool down! Very busy when we went :)

    A very popular water hole for swimming or jumping off the rocks. Lots of people at the weekend, with relatively limited roadside parking. Plenty of places for sitting and having a picnic, alongside some toilet facilities nearby too. The water unfortunately didnโ€™t look too clean, with a few pockets of stagnant water which looked questionable. Lots of swimmers however, so presumably okayโ€ฆ

    First time here with my family. Very nice cruise down to the rock pools. Got great extra close parking. Make sure to pack food as there's not much variety around, we made that mistake reading other reviews on here about shops. Pools were good, could do with a bit of an upgrade around the rock pool grassed area and tables though.

    Beautiful spot next to the side of the road to stop and swim. Facilities close by and sometimes crowded over summer.

    Beautiful location - the water is serene and the forest/bush is so relaxing. What a lovely day out!

  • 5/5 Leigh A. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely rock pool to relax in whilst the kids jump off the rocks. Barbie area nearby. Water was bloody freezing but we enjoyed swimming near the waterfalls. Highly recommend for a family day out!

  • 5/5 Minjon S. 2 years ago on Google
    Super refreshing fresh water dip, was a bit cold but thatโ€™s part of the fun. Natural stream that creates a great relaxing float down the water. Good for goods however rocks may be a bit much if you choose to swim barefoot. Funky and weird rocks

  • 4/5 Cariann K. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful sites. No mobile phone coverage from 1st site onward. 1 st set of swim spot is easily accessible from road on left. Few little picnic spots with tables and toilets. 2nd set of swim spot is further up the road. Has bush walk and have to climb down rocks to get to pools. Gets quite chilly in late afternoon so bring dry clothes. Biggest drawback to both sites is lack of forethinking with parking with 2nd site only having like 20 parking spots. (Hence the 4 star) Come prepared to walk if come on week end or public holiday.

    Beautiful location, complete with a little turtle. Clean water that was beautifully cool. Have sunscreen as most is in the full sun im the middle of the day. I learned to walk on water when a snake was spotted.

  • 5/5 Jessica U. 11 months ago on Google
    It's a short paved walk up to the rock pools. It can get slippery and muddy climbing between the pools. Watch out for leaches!

  • 5/5 D B. 1 year ago on Google
    Always a nice spot to cool off. Parking is getting harder as it gets popular. I don't particularly enjoybswimming with dogs though.

  • 5/5 Chaz C. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome!!! Beautiful little swimming hole with a babbling creek. Parking just 50 metres from the hole so easy access for all.

    Nice little rock pool swimming area. Bathrooms and picnic area. Part of the park around the pools and river appears cut off with private property no trespassing signs and barbed wire fence.

  • 4/5 Emma H. 7 months ago on Google
    13.9.2023 - Such a cute little stop off for a picnic! Easy to access, as it's just off the side of the road. Tracks and facilities are modern and well looked after. Toilet and bins provided.

  • 4/5 Tanisha J. 5 months ago on Google
    This is a beautiful relaxing spot. It is at its best when the past few days have been sunny So water is clear. It gets very brown and murky with rain. We've visited a few times, recently seeing seven red-eared turtles in the water. There is a cafe across the road.

    This place is pretty cool spot on a hot day, lovely place to swim in, the amenities are pretty clean. there is also a cafe across the road if you get thirsty or hungry. Like this cool hidden gem

    The area is absolutely gorgeous, the mountain area very close to the ocean, the green dominates the amazing landscape, a place where I felt fantastic. Many people come to bathe here or just to have a picnic on the shore of the small lake here. Here you have street parking spaces. The lake is surrounded by mountains full of vegetation and we started to explore the roads here on foot to enjoy the scenery on a hot summer day. It really is a gorgeous place here!
