Cleve Garth Falls
Cleve Garth Falls
The snippets describe Cleve Garth Falls as located within Doubtful Sound in Fiordland National Park, not on the Spey River. However, the falls are indeed in the broader Fiordland region, and the snippets provide enough detail to describe the waterfall itself.
Cleve Garth Falls is a towering multi-step waterfall located in Fiordland National Park, New Zealand, visible from Wilmot Pass on the approach to Doubtful Sound.
Standing approximately 365 metres tall, it drops in two distinct leaps, making it one of the more impressive cascades in the Southland region. The falls were named in 1891 by early tourist C. W.
Chamberlain, who chose to honour the spot with the name of his Dunedin cottage rather than his own name.
Because there is no road access to Doubtful Sound for private vehicles, visitors reach the falls by cruising across Lake Manapouri and then travelling by bus over Wilmot Pass, from which the waterfall can be seen. The nearest settlement is Manapouri.
