This was one of our favorite waterfalls on our travels through South Africa. #roadtrip
The drive through the valley between De Rust and Prince Albert is absolutely beautiful. 
The upper pool is deep enough that you can plunge into the chilly waters with no worries. 
You can also slide carefully down the smaller waterfall into the lower shallow pool.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in De Rust?
The best area to stay in De Rust is within the village centre, particularly along the main street, Schoeman Street, or very close to it.

This area is the heart of the village, offering easy access to its limited but delightful amenities. You'll find most of the guesthouses, local shops, and eateries concentrated here. The layout is quite compact, making it very walkable, and you'll often see historic buildings that reflect the village's heritage.

Couples looking for a peaceful escape will find the village centre ideal. It offers a relaxed pace of life, with opportunities to enjoy local hospitality, try regional cuisine, and simply unwind. The proximity to the Swartberg Pass also makes it a great base for scenic drives and exploring the natural beauty of the area.

For travellers interested in local culture and a quiet stay, the area around the Dutch Reformed Church on the eastern end of Schoeman Street is particularly appealing.
When is the best time to go to De Rust?
The best time to go to De Rust is during the autumn and spring months, specifically from March to May and September to November.

These periods offer pleasant weather conditions, with warm days and cooler evenings, making it ideal for exploring the outdoors without the intense heat of summer or the chill of winter. The natural landscape is also particularly appealing during these seasons, with autumn bringing a change in foliage colours and spring showcasing new growth and wildflowers.
