Description

The swimming spot is okay, remove the squishy dead braken etc from underfoot and it would be excellent. [Duncan Jones, Auckland (ex Rotorua)]


Directions

Take the road to Lady Knox Geyser, Drive half way down the road and it is on your right. It's well hidden, seem to remember some minor bush bashing required. Paste this into Google Earth for the exact spot: 38°20'59.87

  1. I love the naturallly secluded aspect of this pool yet it is so reasonably easy to get to

  2. This is a lovely pool, the waterfall gives you a vigorous massage, the water stings your eyes though, can be VERY hot underfoot (or bottom!), there are lots of leaves etc in the pool too, but that's what you get in a pool surrounded by bush, it is great!

  3. Finally found this hot pool, amazing. Had it all to myself and found it to be a perfect temp, about the same as a warm bath. Didnt want to get out

  5. Perfect spot. Hot, lovely standing under the waterfall, and had the place to ourselves. The track is rather overgrown though (but isn't that part of the fun?!). After reading about litter at other pools in the area, perhaps it's a good job that the gate on the road is shut at 5pm every evening.

  6. A bit of a scramble but private and quite nice if the pool at the bridge is full.

  7. I love hot springs I have been to dozens all over Western Canada and none have compared to this. Its a short jaunt from the road that I found relatively easy to get to, you come in and the water is quite warm but the bottom can be scalding especially since it's so hard to wear jandels in the water, I gave it a 6 because while it is a crazy experience to stand under a hot spring waterfall it's kinda hard to do so since you burn the hell out of your feet and can't really float over either since it's rather shallow and then you burn your bum! You have to see and experience it though nothing cooler that a natural hot shower!

  8. The track to this hotpool can be seen on the right about 500m up the road to the Lady Knox Geyser, with a tree partly fallen over the track a few metres from the road. There are some hot spots in the pool so be careful where you stand.

  9. Very hard to find, but well worth it for the hot waterfall. The water is only thigh deep and pretty murky but to stand under a hot waterfall and have the place all to yourself is amazing

  10. Not the ideal spot really, you have to clamber through the undergrowth to get to it and you get the feeling that it is rather discouraged. Glad I visited it though - the other side of Rotorua as it were, in it's raw form. Beautiful but spooky.
