About Us
This is no ordinary life.
And this is no ordinary water.
It’s been 500 million years in the making. 500 million years of fiery molten rock, crystallizing into rare granite pods, creating a mountain range so grand, so majestic, so extraordinary, we named our water after it.
Mountain Falls; the ultimate statement of purity, balance, style and refinement.
We would love to take the credit for this mineral-rich, hydrating elixir, but nature has done all the hard work for us.
All you have to do is look cool while drinking it.
And that’s not hard to do, especially with our sleek, artfully designed packaging that encases this flawless creation.
It’s a fashion-forward accessory, an emblem of a life well-lived, in sync with your day.
In sync with your world.
It’s there for the chaos. The calm. The balance. The beauty.
It’s for those who live life differently, beautifully, simply, stylishly.
For those who go beyond the every day.
Beyond the surface.
Beyond the expected.
BEYOND ORDINARY.
YOU ARE WHAT YOU DRINK
Our story is not just about water. Mountain Falls has redefined what premium mineral water means, every drop embodies values, which tell a story of nature, purity, health and provides an unparalleled taste experience.
Mountain Falls is bottled at source at the base of the Klein River mountain range, originating from source geology dating back 150 million years. Our water offers a unique mineral composition which is said to be the most natural way to hydrate, offering certain health benefits.
As a member of the Fine Water Society, we are proud to stand alongside the worlds most premium fine waters. We were recently awarded a bronze medal at the international Fine Water Taste Awards reinforcing our standing as a global brand. This illustrates that our unique mineral water, authenticity and commitment to quality resonates on an international stage.
“Mountain Falls presents the best possible mineral combination we have seen.”

ABOUT OUR WATER
A natural mineral water is considered superior to spring water as a result of its constant and unique mineral composition. It is said that natural mineral water is the most natural way to hydrate, it provides a great mouth-feel and distinct taste, and certain health benefits may be claimed depending on the specific mineral composition, such as calcium and magnesium.
To be classified as a mineral water a minimum of 250mg/l TDS is required. Total dissolved solids (TDS) indicate the amount of dissolved minerals in natural water. Mountain Falls has a TDS of 350mg/l and based on the requirements set out by the {FDA, IBWA, EBWA, ANZFS, EPA, WHO} is currently the only water in South Africa able to claim to be a mineral water.
A low TDS generally results in the water being insipid and tasteless. A high TDS, on the other hand, will result in water with a very distinctive taste.
In addition, mineral water is distinguished from other types of bottled water by its constant level and relative proportions of minerals and trace elements at the point of emergence from the source (i.e. no minerals can be added).
Another key measure of the quality of bottled mineral and spring water is its pH, which is a measure of where the water lies in the balance between acid and alkaline – pH7 being neutral or “perfectly balanced”.
Mountain Falls is unique in that it is perfectly balanced at a pH7, regarded as the perfect natural water. A large percentage of bottled water in South Africa is well below pH7 at between 4.6 and 5.8, which is classified as 500 times more acidic than pH7.
Check mineral content. Ideally, water is high in magnesium and calcium (with calcium being at least 50% more than magnesium). According to the US National Research Council and the WHO, magnesium and calcium in natural water will contribute to your daily dietary requirement.
Water with predominant alkalinity is usually accompanied by high calcium and magnesium, which raise the pH and alkalinity and provide a broad and full-bodied mouth-feel.
Mountain Falls is hand bottled at source at the Mountain Falls Estate, situated on the slopes of the Klein River mountain range between Hermanus and Stanford in the Overberg region.
Natural Mineral Water is sourced from an underground aquifer, which emerges from a spring tapped at natural or bore exits. Natural water must be bottled at source and cannot be transported in bulk from the source. In the case of mineral and spring water the label should say “bottled at source” and specify the location of the source.
