Haupiri River
Description
Access to the Hot Springs is through private land. Please contact the Gloriavale Christian Community on 03 738 0224 or 03 738 0257 for permission, so that trampers can be told about possible hunting activities in the valley. [Peter Righteous, NZ]
Directions
Follow track up true left of Haupiri river and continue along river bank or riverbed if river is down, to Cone creek. Cross Cone creek near the confluence, which can be difficult at high flow levels, and climb onto river terrace. There is a short track (50m) through the forest to the pools. Otherwise combine it with a Lake Morgan-Cone creek hut-Cone creek circuit (3 days). Perfect temperature. Bliss!! (Paul, Haast/New Zealand)

Trash. Someone left plastic all over the place to try and give the pool shelter and contain the mud which now has holes and it’s just a mess , not enough hot water for anything.

The best most private pools in New Zealand
Take a net to remove the leaves
Temperature 30degrees plus so ease yourself in It may be hotter great after the walk to get there
Take a lunch as it is a full day walk to return to car park
Track is a little rough but not steep
The pools are in the grove across the junction of the Cone Creek and Haupiri
Not accessible in rain

Small, muddy, a bit difficult to locate. Could only really soak our legs. Was nice after a long rainy day of tramping though.
To access, give Gloriavale a call and let them know you'd like to tramp up the Haupiri. There is a DOC parking lot and signage. We actually came in from Lake Morgan and went out down the Haupiri, which was a 3 day loop.

Been there three times. Once it was too hot to bathe in the spring. You can divert hot water through a pipe into the concrete bath & let it cool a bit by unblocking the pipe intake which has a plastic cover on it. The intake for the pipe is below water level in the spring.
