This thermal stream rises next to State Highway 5 and runs through a Holiday Park. There are several soak pools for guests accommodated in Golden Springs Holiday Park and the thermal stream runs through a park like environment. The Summer Temperature is between 36 and 38 Deg C. in the top soak pool (a bit cooler in winter and on rainy days). The water is considered as therapeutic and especially good for aching muscles. It is not recommended that the head is immersed in the water as is the case in most NZ natural thermal waters. There are small mosquito fish which have adapted to the warm waters but live in cooler sections. Along the stream there is a normal swimming pool open in the summer, as well as a childrens play area, a flying fox and a fern glade. The stream is set amongst large trees in places. It runs into a small drainage stream which flows past Reporoa Village which in turn runs into the Waikato River. [Hans, ]
