Secret Falls near Hobart

Secret Falls near Hobart

Tucked away on the forested slopes of Mount Wellington (kunanyi), Secret Falls is one of Hobart’s most peaceful hidden gems. This delicate cascade tumbles through lush temperate rainforest, surrounded by towering trees, mossy rocks and ferns, making it a perfect escape from the city below. Just a short drive from Hobart, the walk to Secret Falls is easy, scenic and rewarding, offering visitors a quiet moment of nature in one of Tasmania’s most iconic mountain landscapes.

Secret Falls is located on the Myrtle Gully track behind the historic Cascade Brewery in the foothills of Kunanyi/Mt Wellington.

The waterfall is a single drop of approximately three metres flowing through a narrow crevice in the rocks.

There is no signage to Secret Falls, but there is a very obvious track down to the base of the falls, approx. fifty metres before you reach Myrtle Gully Falls.
