There are walking tracks from the back of the cottage to the Valley of the Waters and beautiful Empress Falls. For the adventurous, there are groups that go canyoning into, and abseiling down, the Empress Falls waterfall. On hot days take your towel and swim at the base of the falls.

This walk is amazing but be prepared that you will encounter many stairs and a long climb back up the escarpment.

Located just down the road from the cottage, the Valley of the Waters has gorgeous scenery. The main track leads to Empress Falls which is highly recommended. Take a picnic lunch and explore the many smaller tracks off the main track. The smaller tracks lead to streams and smaller, enchanting waterfalls.
