  • Don't expect a big waterfall. Instead you will be greeted by some lovely small falls and one medium sized falls, divided by beautiful safe swimming holes of various depths

  • The walk from the car park to the falls themselves is certainly part of the enjoyment. An easy level walk alongside the river provides plenty of opportunity for some great photos. While the falls...

  • Beautiful scenery all around. The walk from the carpark to the swimming hole was not far at all. Which made it easier with young children. Will definitely be going there again next time we are up those ways 😁
  • Very quiet hidden gem. I shared it with only one other person for the entire 2 hours I was there. Easy stroll alongside the water and you can swim in the water holes there. Clean amenities with a drop toilet.
  • Small falls and rock pools perfect to cool off on a hot day. 3 minutes walk from the parking spot. Trail in good condition but rocks can be slippery when wet. Toilets in the parking lot.
  • If you're planning to visit Gardner's falls or anywhere really then please be considerate of those around you, keep amenities clean and avoid littering so as to protect this beautiful scenic environment. ‐‐--------‐-- I've struggled to find the perfect place to go swimming in SEQ but this takes the cake. The falls itself is lacklustre but the pools seem deep enough to swim comfortably and dive-bomb also. Bit too cold for swimming at the moment but would be perfect for summer. The area itself is beautiful with a lot of wildlife. Amenities include carpark, toilets (composting toilets/pit toilets) and picnic tables. Camping is prohibited here.
  • Beautiful waterfall and a nice place to swim in the summer. There is also a swinging rope that allows you to swing and jump into the water. I never swim here but the water looks deep so just be careful when you get in.
