We came across a warm sulphur creek leading in to the Deception River on our descent from Goat Hut, about 3/4's of the way down. [Lisa, New Zealand]

GPS: -42.8295, 171.631333, There are pools at this location (unless washed out) [Richard, ]

Couple of nice little pools to be found at -42.8295, 171.631333, hot water. The cold spring marked on the Topo Maps near Midday Creek is not the spring, you need to walk up the Deception River past Midday Creek and then scout around to find it. If you spend the time to find it you will be rewarded. Use a GPS.

Really hard to find. Spring, not pools, I think. Near the old (now removed) bridge/walkwire IIRC. Interestingly, marked as a cold spring on the topo maps (near Midday Creek) http://is.gd/iYu88a
