This small waterfall is halfway between Sabie and Graskop. A popular spot for photographs.
The Maria Shires Falls is a little waterfall in Sabie named by Joseph Brooke Shires Jr, whose mother's name was Maria. He played a massive role in the forestry industry of the entire Sabie region in the late 1800's.
