Lots of water flowing after the rains. Perfect temperature on a hot day.

Short flat walk. Sections can be slippery when wet. Small but attractive falls.
To confirm a previous comment, dogs not permitted.

Beautiful spot, so peaceful to just sit and take in. So close to Maleny town ship, makes for a great day out in the hinterland.

nice easy walk - best in summer with a towel.

this is not linked to the Maleny Peace in the Trees walk. It is on opposite sides of the creek and not connected. Plenty of picnic places and lots of shady trees over the path.

A pretty gem that lies tucked away.

Nice easy walk. Great for children and adults alike.

I think your information might be incorrect about permitting dogs at Gardners Falls?

This was a great little walk with scenery to appreciate while 8.5 months pregnant! The recent rains ensured there was plenty of water to admire.

Always a classic 💧
Easy to get to, heaps of rockpools to choose from, cool and refreshing water. There's a reason it's so popular!

Great waterhole

The walk to the swimming hole was very short and flat. However, there are lots of slippery roots and rocks with mud so be careful where you step. The water in the swimhole at the bottom of the big waterfall was very cold but very fresh and pure. Had a nice swim there whilst others jumped in using the rope swing or from the cliffs next to the waterfall. Great place to go on a hot summers day.

Flat walk. More exciting places to visit in Sunny Coast.

Lovely short walk in a very beautiful spot.

Very short, fairly flat but quite muddy after all the recent rain. Powerful waterfall to see up close. Too cold for swimming in winter.

Lovely place to swim and/or eat. Water is cold so enjoy swimming if you dont mind that. Very popular for swimming. . Parking can be an issue. Even just coming here for a short stroll is lovely. I post photos of my hikes to instagram.com/spring_beans am based in the Sunshine Coast :)
