Kaiate Falls is just a 20 minute walk down (40 min. return) to the bottom through native bush. On your way you pass several falls. Very beautifull and peacefull. There are several swiming holes and you could bring a pick-nic. More

It was a little cool for a swim that day, but we really enjoyed our hike down to multiple waterfalls. Remote parking lot- don't leave anything in sight, and have all your valuables on your person. More
