This paradise is only an hour away from the Central Coast!

Little slice of paradise right here!

We all need a good place to de-stress. A spot where we can forget about bills, diets, and that annoying co-worker with the perfect body who keeps complaining about her non-existent ‘muffin top’.

Well, we think this might be the spot for you!

Located just one hour from Gosford CBD, Upper Gledhill Falls is tucked away in the eastern section of Ku-ring-gai National Park. Although this beauty is pretty close to a main road, the amphitheatre of rocks that surrounds it blocks off any traffic, leaving only the sounds of the gushing water and swaying trees. That’s right, you won’t have to hear anyone scream “IT’S CALLED A BLINKER, MATE” while relaxing in this spot!

At this beautiful spot, a small waterfall cascades into a 10m-wide pool that perfect for a calm swim or a peaceful cool-off. The crystal-clear water is surrounded by stunning green foliage and rock structures, making it the perfect place to really connect with nature. Just don’t go all Russell Coight on us!

There are a few boulders that you’ll have to navigate to get to the water’s edge, but once you reach the small stretch of sand, you can relax, swim, and get ready to take the best Instagram photos of your life!  

Thinking about popping down to see this spot? Click here to get directions!
