am planning my next trip back here already – overnight stay from puketapu it took just over an hour to drive out to the hot springs car park – a 200m walk gets u to the hot springs if you’re worrying about not having a 4×4, don’t. I managed to get up there no troubles in my 3 series – this was in summer though, may be different with what winter brings. a great place to chill out with friends or family
