About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- siobhanbR5481PV0 contributionsCan’t Fault ItMy experience at the Hot Springs was amazing. Check-in was easy and the complementary locker, robe and towel included in my package was greatly appreciated and comfortable. The Springs are relaxing and there’s a lot of different options depending on what you’re wanting (aromatherapy, waterfalls, rockpools, cold plunge, etc.). Salt Therapy was very relaxing and I highly recommend the Healing Wellness Package for a great deal. I also had a Warming Bliss massage and it was everything I needed and more, check-in was easy and the treatment itself was incredible - the environment was exactly what you’d expect with calming music and soft, warm lighting pretty much everywhere.Written 14 February 2025

- V2414ZAamyb0 contributionsToo good not to shareMy husband and I treated ourselves to the 3hr evening session and loved it so much that we took the kids and grandparents back the next day. There were quite a few people when we went but as there were so many different pools, it never felt crowded. The attendants were lovely and were great at explaining things to us. The aroma of the aromatherapy pool was delicious and the overall experience is hard to put into words. I'll be recommending this to everyone heading to Victoria!Written 7 February 2025

My partner and I did ours a night session and was so lovely to enjoy and experience something different. I would definitely go back again!Written 16 January 2025
- melwilson810 contributionsGreat experience for all ages.My 2 teenage sons and I absolutely loved our day here. We weren’t sure what to expect and it exceeded our expectations. The boys loved exploring each of the different rock pools and said it was the calmest they have felt. I loved the calming tranquil music and aroma smells around the pools. Everyone was respectful and let each other have their own space. We will definitely be back!Written 14 January 2025
- WayneD16900 contributions90 minutes of hot poolsWe went on the evening 6-9pm time slot, we hired one of the lockers, spent about 90 minutes in the pool. It was busy during the Xmas new year period but still ok with people spreading around the different pools. I like coming here mid winter when it’s a bit cooler and dark. It seems a little bit less busy and with darkness the lights sounds and pools light up betterWritten 2 January 2025
- AliM19780 contributionsGreat experienceWe had a fantastic experience at the hot springs! It was a perfect family outing, and my son absolutely loved exploring the different pools. He especially enjoyed soaking in the warm, relaxing water and then jumping into the cold pools for a fun contrast. The facilities were clean, well-maintained, and offered a variety of options to suit everyone's preferences. Highly recommend it for families looking for a fun and relaxing day out!Written 23 December 2024
- X8677XTsallys0 contributionsIncredible wellness fixI had the most wonderful experience at the hot springs. To walk outside the building in the rain and step into thermal pools up to 40C was a most relaxing feeling. After a 6 hour car trip all the stiffness from sitting had gone and my body felt so relaxedWritten 30 November 2024
- W9799LXmichaelh0 contributionsLoved the Hot Springs, but never eat hereWe loved the hot springs, went twice. The early morning session was the best as hardly any punters there. The staff were all accommodating and friendly. But there are very annoying and petty costs like parking and locker hire on our second hot springs visit, check the price of everything before you ask. The big warning is the breakfast, not a great spread at the best of times, but at 9 am, everything was cold,it was terrible. The barrister coffee was good, but that doesn't come with breakfast.Written 9 November 2024
- Jo D0 contributionsSprings should be visited but miss the hotelSprings excellent, did the three hour evening experience and loved the range of pools - will definately come again - but hotel and cafe facilities limited - very underwhelming - the cafe finishes at 6.30 and bar at 9pm and is very uninspiring in decor and a bit like a college canteen.Written 6 November 2024
- Lee C0 contributionsWould recommend for sureGreat experience and just what was needed after 18 days travelling. We actually used the 3 hour twilight session which was great value for money overallWritten 6 November 2024
- MerryG7965XI0 contributionsDeep blue hot springs relaxation.Deep blue hot springs was a peaceful and relaxing experience. For around $50 per person it is quite pricey, but it was worth it. 2 hours in the deep blue hot springs was relaxing and the minerals were very nice. But, the reality is that there were too many people in at once. For example in the cold pool for 4 people, there were over 8 people in it. This seemed a bit like profit maximisation, but the relaxing experience made up for it.Written 3 November 2024

Very nice and relaxing with options of cold water pools to warm to hot spring pools. Was a birthday surprise. Although it was fairly busy being holiday season there were enough pools for us to move around and have a bit of quite relaxing time away from the kids

I do chase hot springs all over the world. I prefer the wild hot springs Like Innot and a couple of places in NZ which have not been concreted over and painted blue.
This place is concrete sculptured but the water is highly mineralised.
No smell of chlorine and staligmite/tite things have grown on some of the water features leading in to the ponds. Some of the ponds are quite cloudy and some smell a little of the underground gases with no smell of chlorine.
Their brochure gives a mineral break down too.
The session times are 2 hours which is better than Peninsula Springs at Mornington which give only one hour, which is not enough and feels rushed or step up for a whole day which is almost always too much.
The best in Australia for me is still the Innot Hot Springs two hours out of Cairns where I have been numerous times. It's just there were no direct flights to Cairns left this week.
Bit of a trip from Barossa Valley Adelaide. 7 hours drive yesterday. 700km total but still 150km range left in the tank.
Overnight at the spa resort then a couple of hours hot spring spa-ing, if there is such a word.
Got some super relaxation sessions in mixed with deep meditation and even a few tai chi sessions in the springs. Only ten of us wandering around 15 ponds.
Back to SA. Keith tonight after another 400kms today and guard dog doing his job at home. Tank of fuel there. Tank of fuel home all good.
