5.0/5
Beautiful place we have been inside the water for at least an hour was not crowded an very clean
-
2.5/5
Dirty, rubbish and beer bottles on the side.
River was very muddy and not clear. It also smelt. Dipped my toes in and it was warm but wasn't tempted to swim.

4.0/5
Really relaxing warm water to relax in after a long hike.
You do not see springs like these anywhere else.

DO NOT MISS THIS!
It was hands down my favourite experience, swimming in the hot and cold creek, rubbing our Rotorua mud all over my body, my skin was so smooth all over!

We were sitting in the hot river with a waterfall while it was raining on us.
It was the best feeling in New Zealand so far!

You can swim in the hot water with cold stream from the river.
Use mud for your body. Good bath!

Directly located under a bridge is a hot stream that meets a cold river.
There are separate ways to get into the water. Be careful: at the top it is really hot!

If you go just beyond the Wai-O-Tapu entrance there is a hot stream meeting a cold one under a bridge, you cannot miss it.
It is a great place for a little dip.

Hot and cold river meet.
This was a few years ago - not sure if still available. Not Kerosene Creek.
