Peach Tree Hot Springs

Go past kaitoke springs, turn right on tramway just before peachtree track, follow creek on right side upstream about 50 metres, stop at grassy clearing, there is hot water in creek bed, cross creek, go down stream to little side creak on right and follow a short distance to main spring and pool. Dug by early gum diggers, watch out for wasp nest above pool. Total walk in is about 1hr 15 min from hot springs carpark. It is well worth it. [Ian Bodmin, Katikati]
