How clean and cool it is down there while the water is perfect temperature. Be sure to walk around the path to where the springs start. More

Pack your bathers, a floatie/noodle, bring your towel and something to eat and make a picnic down at the hot springs, a great way to spend the afternoon in Katherine. Free entry. Disabled entry available. More

Beautiful place to visit and a must if you are in Katherine. It is a bit hidden and there are quite a few stirs to go down to get to the springs but they are worth it. I did see as I was driving out that there is another entrance for wheelchairs but im not sure as to where it... More

The natural springs are truly refreshing! Temperature is close to a constant 30-32 C. Several different pools of varying depths. Our kids ages 8 and 6 swam on the upper end where it was not as deep. Also got to watch some of the local kids do mud sliding down some of the banks. Would visit again if in the... More

This is easily accessed by car and still almost in town - there are numerous steps down to the spring, but may be better access upstream. The bit to swim in is only a few hundred metres long and was pretty crowded when we were there - we had to push a bit to get over the small but crowded... More

having visited many other swimming holes, gorges etc on this trip, the hot springs were a bit of a disappointment. A good way to meet the locals. If you only have one afternoon in Katherine, you would be much better off doing the cruise on the gorge. More

We were pleasantly surprised. The carpark is dusty and the outlook is not good. But 50m walk away is a lovely little hot spring. There are 4 or 5 pools to swim in plus a small fall. Nice for a lunch stop or just to cool off and relax for an hour. Easy access and really shady. More

Lovely Thermal Springs @ Katherine - easily accessible and a great spot to enjoy the surroundings while dipping in the warm pool with clear water! A must go during the dry season! More
