Fantastic Natural Hot Spring

Natural and well looked after. There's a bit of natural matter around, as it is part of the stream, which is all part of it being authentic. Sandflies like it here too so have some repellent/tea tree oil handy. We took a $4 pool noodle...More

Nice natural hot springs

We love these hot springs and visit regularly. However, your experience is determined by the other visitors and the woman who manages the place. It is a quiet place; not meant for rowdy behaviour (in my opinion). Most of the time she is fine but...More

Really nice pools

We went at night and there were about 10 other people. It's big and steamy enough that you can find privacy. The ground is a sort of pebbles and sometimes clay. Most of if is pretty shallow with the deepest part being maybe waist height....More

Natural hot pools

Awesome, natural hot pools. No concreate or stainless steel here. Large pool with a good depth for children. If you want the water hotter you move closer to the hot springs,colder move closer to the stream. Heaps better than the commercial hot pools.

Nice in the rain

Called in en route home. It’s pretty low key but still nice. You may freak out at the oily look and particulate matter but it’s all good. $30 for a family of five.

Nothing flash - but reasonably priced place to enjoy the hot springs and have a picnic

Some things we liked about this spot: - Laid back, casual spot, quiet, not crowded. - Picnic table available - Kept tidy Some things that detracted from the experience: - Too many sandflies - make sure you take insect repellant and apply it heavily as...More
