    Magnificent waterfall to view

    A really beautiful waterfall that can be viewed from a roadside stop. No facilities at the view point.

    Amazing view... Shame about the rubbish

    The waterfall view itself is spectacular! Such an amazing, lush and beautiful location... Unfortunately the shear amount of rubbish left by people detracts from it substantially. Plastics, human waste, food scraps all made the place hard to really enjoy for its natural beauty.

    Spectacular when flowing

    These falls are well worth the visit. I’ve seen them under moderate and high flow and they are magnificent after rain.

    Beautiful

    Even on a rainy day this waterfall was stunning and the gardens surrounding were gorgeous, such a trea5 to walk amongst native trees and flower.

    Swimming

    We wished we had taken a picnic - great fun swimming and jumping off rocks; you need some mosquito spray for when you are out of the water, but not too much of an issue

    Beautiful Scenic Stop

    This ~100m waterfall is a worthwhile stop, as you drive the Cross Island Road south of Apia. The impressive waterfall, though seen from across the valley, is still a sight to behold! There is a rutted, potholed parking area to pull over and check it...More
