Reviews Summary
Visitors rave about the thrilling, unique experience of sliding down Rere Rockslide, often calling it a 'must-experience place' with 'amazing scenery.' The free entry and community spirit of shared float devices are big pluses. However, many acknowledge it's not entirely safe and can be very fast, with some advising caution for younger children.
"It's wonderful thrilling positive experience! Overcoming initial hesitations can lead to fantastic discoveries. Safety is a top priority, and ensure you have the right equipment is crucial for a smooth experience. Keep challenging yourself - growth often happens outside of our comfort zones. Itโs a must experience place to be ๐"

"Amazing scenery with hidden gem locations. Will need to come here on a run of good weather after some rain so water is of good quality and there is enough water to go down the slide or enjoy the pools. Roads are generally good except a few patches where you need to be careful of missing a chunk of holes."
Alex Shanks
"A really cool place and the slides were a lot of fun! However, itโs important to keep in mind that itโs not entirely safe. Weโre usually very adventurous and not easily scared, but we were glad nothing happened to us. You get extremely fast!! If you slip off your mat or boogie board, it can be quite painful. Not sure if I would do it with small kids.
There were some mattresses to use."
