    Weekend crowds

    All facilities — arrive early

    Montville gets very busy on weekends and school holidays. Parking and toilets both feel the pressure.

    Weekends busyArrive early

    Montville Main Street parking fills by 10am on weekends. The Kondalilla car park fills even earlier in summer (people heading for the swimming hole). Arrive by 8am on weekends to guarantee parking and avoid toilet queues in the village.

    Kondalilla Falls — No Toilet at the Bottom

    A 90-metre waterfall with a swimming hole at the base. One of the Sunshine Coast's best natural swimming spots. But plan your bathroom break carefully.

    No Toilet at the Falls or Swimming Hole

    There is no toilet at Kondalilla Falls. The only facility is at the car park at the top. The walk down is 2.7km with steep stairs — about 45-60 minutes each way.

    If you need to go once you're at the swimming hole, you face a 45-60 minute uphill walk back to the car park. Use the toilet before you descend. No exceptions.

    The Walk Down

    2.7km with many stairs. Through subtropical rainforest. Gets slippery when wet. Allow 45-60 minutes down. Wear proper shoes — not thongs.

    The Swimming Hole

    Deep natural rock pool at the base of the 90m falls. Cold water year-round. No lifeguard. No facilities. No bins — carry everything out. Spectacular.

    The Walk Back Up

    Same 2.7km but uphill. Allow 60-75 minutes for the return. Steep stairs. Bring water. Summer heat makes this harder than you expect. Toilet at the top.
