Great place with free parking, don’t forget your repellent, cos there’re a lot sandflies. It’s just a short walk down to the cave stream, the last part was quite steep. Unfortunately couldnt do the cave stream, cos I haven’t had the right equipment with me.

Unfortunately the cave was closed so couldn't do it, still a really nice spot and had a cheeky look in the cave just a shame we couldn't technically do the walk

One of the my memorable spot! You definitely feel the sense of adventure. The way to the cape was very steep so be careful enough.

Highly recommend this place. The water is refreshing and just right to wade through in the warmer seasons. There's a nearby pool near the entrance of the cave to cool off. This can be seen from the lookout above. Remember head torches. Can take phone at own risk. Entire experience 40 minutes depending on your pace. You are guaranteed to have fun!

Fun in raw nature. Cold swimming hole. Daunting cave, but achievable for confident newbies, 1 hour or so. V cold in cave. Bring head torch each and spare. Wear good boots.

Beautiful area, pay attention to the cave warnings and pack prepared. We couldn't make it to the cave entrance as the rock face had slicked over with black ice and the water level was high, it wasn't safe with young kids. The surrounding views are stunning.

What an amazing experience that is completely accessible to all with the right gear. Please do not enter without proper gear, wetsuit/warm clothes, torches (not a phone) and do not do it alone. It gets very cold, the water is freezing and up to your chest in places. There are three waterfalls and a ladder at the end that many people will require assistance to climb up. With the proper preparation and precautions it is an amazing experience

Super cool, very highly recommended. Water got up to my chest height (I'm 180 cm) in one place so I wouldn't recommend this for short people or young kids. Just stumbled across this without being prepared at all so we waded through in shorts while using our phone flashlights. This was far from ideal - it's COMPLETELY dark in there, and had we dropped our phones we might've been stuck in total darkness, so bring a headlamp or at least a waterproof flashlight. A few points require a little bit of scrambling on wet rocks and fighting the current, but none of it proved too difficult for me. It's not an extensive cave network so hardcore spelunkers probably won't get their fix here, but for everyone else, it's well worth a stop.
