Somersby Falls: A Serene Oasis Just Outside Sydney

Updated: Apr 18


Tucked away in the heart of the Central Coast, Somersby Falls is a natural haven that promises a brief escape into tranquility. I took a short drive to this enchanting spot, discovering a world of serene beauty just a stone's throw away from Sydney.


Easy Exploration, Rain or Shine


The falls are within a 5-minute stroll from the car park. Despite the drizzle, the wet steps and rocks posed no challenge as I opted for a sideways approach to avoid slips.


Somersby Falls isn't just another tour stop; it's an experience. Often visited in the late afternoon to avoid crowds, my tour guests are treated to a complimentary bottle of Hunter Valley wine. Imagine sipping this exquisite wine amidst the mist of the falls, surrounded by the soothing sounds of nature – a moment of pure bliss.


Watch out for eastern water dragons basking in the sun and cheeky brush turkeys trying to snag your snacks.


While Somersby Falls remains a constant source of natural beauty, it's wise to check for any updates or changes in accessibility before your visit. Consult the official website of the New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Service for the latest information.
