"Buley Rockhole, Litchfield National Park Just upstream from Florence Falls, the Buley Rockhole is probably the most fun travelers can have in Litchfield National Park, maybe the whole of the Northern Territory. While not as impressive as Wangi Falls since it's a section of river where cascades dump into deep pools, Buley Rockhole encourages sunbathing like lizards, pool hopping until you find the best hydrotherapy massage, cliff jumping (only if the water is deep enough), and sliding down a range of bumpy water slides. This place is sure to make you feel like a kid again."

What an amazing spot!! I came here in the afternoon on a weekday and it was fairly quiet, only a couple other people around so was able to have a pool to ourselves!! Definitely recommend visiting, NT keeps surprising me over and over again

Buley Rockhole offers a quiet, calming contrast to the nearby Florence Falls — perfect for a more relaxed dip either before or after visiting the main plunge pool. It’s conveniently located on the same route, making it a great stopover. The stream gently flows downhill, forming a series of cascading rock pools connected like natural steps. You can relax in any of them, though the lower pools tend to be more popular. The water is deep in parts, which makes it ideal for floating with a pool noodle or even jumping in from the rock ledges. It’s a peaceful spot to unwind, soak in the beauty of nature, and enjoy the cool, clear waters in a more low-key setting. A wonderful stop in Litchfield that feels both refreshing and serene.

Buley Rockhole? Fair dinkum magic. Great spot for a dip, felt refreshed. Just watch the slippery bits. Cheers to the Territory.

Stunning cascading waterfalls, small and inviting for all ages groups. Shallow and deep water holes. Clean well maintained walk to waters edge

A refreshing dip on the stream is just what you need after a short walk from the carpark.

This is a must visit place. Easy walk from the carport. The water is crystal clear. Take care when walking over the smooth rocks in the water as there is moss growing on them. Around 1hr 40 minute drive from Darwin on good sealed roads with lots to see on the way

This place is a gorgeous little waterhole and has a series of small waterfalls that you can lounge in. The rocks are smooth due to the amount of water that flows through, but this also makes them very slippery! Be careful! The carpark is a decent size, there are toilets and change rooms and there are covered tables and chairs. The Ranger was present and blowing down the seating area - good to see someone patrolling and maintaining the area. There are camp grounds, but you do need to book online to stay the night and I think you may need a permit to access the park, please check the NT Parks and Wildlife site to double check and see pricing. It's been a few years since I was last here, but we are already planning our next day trip!
