Meiringspoort Waterfall
Scenic spot
👍👍 The waterfall is not such a far walk from the parking area. You can see this place is being maintained well with railings and steps to make the walk easier. If you feel like taking a dive in the cool water, you can do that. There is also no fee you need to pay going to the waterfall.

They never told us when we bought the tickets which cost R80 pe...

👍👍 "Die Kranse" is just stunning!! Walked up there 3 nights in a row to watch the sunset and it just doesn't get old. The way the light falls over the jagged shoreline is just magical!!

👍👍 Awesome spot to sit relax and view the wildlife or just the landscape. It's a great spot to view the sunset and enjoy some sundowners. Its usually clean and well maintained.
