Great spot once found!

The confusion around the location I think is because the Apple Maps pin will take you to the start of the Amethyst Rimu walk, a 1 mile long fire road behind a locked gate that takes you to a power facility. This trail features two amazing old growth Rimu, but no hotsprings.

To get to the hot springs, follow the coordinates or the google maps pin. The trailhead you want is the Wanganui Valley trailhead. From there it is a pretty straightforward walk to the washed out bridge, then follow the creek down to the main riverbed where the hot springs are. Some cairns marked the way but may not always be there.
