Special place in the bush! Popular over the weekend but still managed one pool to ourselves for a while late Saturday afternoon. Perfect after a big day hike up river. Thank you DOC.

Superb place! Very quiet, we were alone in the pools and the view at sunset is simply splendid. A marvel and free of charge ??

ATTENTION! 5km before the finish, a river has to be crossed. If there is too much water in the river, unfortunately the hour at detour was not worth it. Just keep in mind.

Natural hot pools, very small and can get busy. Go on a rainy day and enjoy the hot pools while listening to the rain, so peaceful

The place was really cool, the pools are certainly small but make their effect. The campsite is nice and there are many close hikes (before or after a small hot bath).

Very disappointed access closed 5 km from the end.

Road (very) chaotic. If you have time, and good suspensions, then I advise you. Otherwise, do not make a detour just for this place. Only 2 (very) small pools. Disappointed, I expected better.

The road is quite chaotic, you have to be patient and ride slowly. You also have to cross a river (fording) so do not go after a rainy day! But its definitely worth a visit! The baths are amazing! The river of hot water flows to the side and a forced pipe takes the water to the baths. The view is great! A perfect place to relax in nature. We left the place clean, so make sure you do not forget anything and enjoy! : D
