    The waterfall is not such a far walk from the parking area. You can see this place is being maintained well with railings and steps to make the walk easier. If you feel like taking a dive in the cool water, you can do that. There is also no fee you need to pay going to the waterfall.

    Wow, such a short walk for such a great sight! The steps lead up, along the mountainside a short ways, then onto water worn rocks, opening up to the waterfall. The rocks on the last little bit before the waterfall are slippery, and I can imagine it would be tricky to navigate when wet.

    Spectacular drive on Route 62. The rockery on either side of the road looks so magnificant. Stop at the sign with the waterfall, the other stops have clean toilets and a table to eat but no access to the falls. It's a short walk, for persons with limited mobility rather have a walking aid and take a slow walk. The rocks around the falls can be slippery, shoes with a grip are preferable. Swimming is not allowed, but some people did take dip. There is no entry fee and no access control to the falls.

    Unspoilt beauty One cannot simply pass without visiting this treasure! A brief walk of about a kilometer takes you from plentiful parking lots to the falls. The parking lots are stunningly kept and public toilet facilities are available. The entire area is stunningly beautiful and clearly a lot of effort goes into keeping this place that way. If you are an adrenaline junkie, the rock jumping at this location is fantastic! Thank you for keeping this attraction so stunningly beautiful and FREE.

    This waterfall is absolutely amazing! Short little hike up some stairs, across, down some stairs. Very safe and well maintained. The bathrooms were spotless and very spacious with flowers and ample soap. The waterfall itself as you can see in the pictures is absolutely breathtaking! I would most certainly go again!

    It was by a stroke of luck that I had stumbled across this beautiful place. I was in awe of the scenery as I was driving home to Cape Town. The first time driving this way, I found it absolutely breathtaking! I am a nature lover, so naturally it appeals to me. Compared to the N1 drive, this route, R62, is well worth it. It's a short 5 - 10 minute walk, maximum, to reach the awesome waterfall. I was lucky as the weather was perfect and the water was flowing, just enough to appreciate mother nature at its finest. Take the route! It's worth it!

    Only a short walk to the waterfall, just a short incline at the start, but even the unfit person can do. Just hold on to the railing as the rocks can be slippery. There are toilet facilities and it is kept clean all day. There are baboons around in the parking area,so be careful . Saw one trying to get into another persons car when she opened her back door....Well worth the stop!

    DO NOT MISS THIS! Amazing drive through the pass to find this wonderful little spot. Clean ablutions and short walk to the waterfall. Bring a towel, camera and have some fun jumping of the 2 cliff jumps. Water is cold but very refreshing to break the travel.

    A short hike is all it takes to this place of beauty. The stunning pool below the waterfall had many splashing about. The water was cool and refreshing on a hot day. It has a little room at the bottom that shows the history of the pass. And it's all free!

  • 5/5 Ruzanne J van R. 2 months ago on Google β€’ 51 reviews New
    Most spectacular nature scenery. Neat and clean ablution facilities. Short, easy walk to the waterfall. A must-see activity. Take a costume with as swimming is allowed.

    Take the kids for a cool fresh dip under the waterfall nestled between the most beautiful hanging cliffs. What a lovely experience!!

  • 5/5 Paul M. 2 months ago on Google β€’ 31 reviews New
    One of my favorite drives through the Meiringspoort Pass. The views are out of this world. The short +-10min walk to the waterfall is clearly marked, there is parking, and well maintained. The waterfall is just sublime, especially on a hot day.

    Spoil yourself and your family with this unique stopover. Come prepared to swim in the waterfall pool - especially as a break from a long drive through this part of the country.

  • 5/5 Jeremy O. 10 months ago on Google
    Early morning crisp air. The best ever. Also spotted the paw print of a predator, most likely a leopard☺

  • 4/5 Jaco H. 10 months ago on Google
    A great place to stop, stretch your legs, have a snack and walk to the waterfall. Great place to cool down in summer!

  • 5/5 SAGIRL 10 months ago on Google
    A real hidden Gem, this waterfall is breath taking, water a tad bit chilly but a delight

  • 5/5 Sam T. 11 months ago on Google
    During our travels, we passed through Meiringspoort and was taken back by the beauty of the road leading through the mountains. Awestruck is the only word that comes to mind, and I dont think it does the pass any justice. When there, stop at the waterfall, take a short walk into the mountain, and enjoy the waterfall.

  • 5/5 Adele D. 11 months ago on Google
    Beautiful place to visit. A bit of a walk into the mountain to see the waterfall, but quite save with rails to hold on to. You can swim in the natural pool under the waterfal. You do not have to be extremely fit to see the place! Nice clean toilets.

  • 5/5 Nick D. 1 year ago on Google
    Take along a towel and a costume and enjoy. The waterfall and pools are beautiful and it is fun to jump off the rocks into the pool. This is fantastic.

  • 5/5 Whitney P. 1 year ago on Google
    So clean, so quiet, serene, breathtaking and a great excerise... No fees just park and take the steps... History exhibit available for those that would like to get a better understanding of the area.

  • 5/5 Esther P. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful spot. Not a long walk, about 10 minutes to the falls, a few steps. Water was icy but so clear, will definately be worth a return visit in summer. Great braai (bbq) facilities. Ablution block was well maintained and clean.

  • 4/5 Werner G. 1 year ago on Google
    Great little stop over in the Meiringspoort pass. Just a short walk from the road there is a excellent pool with clear water. A few smaller pools below to swim in. It is VERY slippery on the green moss and a slip and fall is a real threat if you have kids or an elderly person. But with the right shoes an reight attitude this was a great day out

  • 5/5 Marsha R. 1 year ago on Google
    This waterfall is easily accessible from the roadside lot in a five-minute stroll which leads to another world. It’s beautiful! There is a bathroom at the parking lot, and the visit to the falls is well worth the modest entry fee. The short drive up from Oudtshoorn is very scenic, too.

  • 5/5 Duhne L. 1 year ago on Google
    The place was beautifully maintained - especially the gardens at the entrance. Bathrooms were clean. We didn't have to pay entrance. It's a short and easy walk to reach the waterfall. Very beautiful! Was a highlight for me during my Prince Albert visit.

  • 5/5 Vernon 1 year ago on Google
    What a lovely breath-taking scenery. Unfortunately there wasn't a lot of water but still the nature and scenery is well breath-taking. To drive through is and will always be a great experience and a pleasure, just to look at the nature and lovely mountains and seroundings. Something that only GOD could create. Enjoy your visit.
