Mataranka Thermal Pool

Highlights

Mataranka Thermal Pool is like a giant warm bath in nature! The water stays at a cosy 34 degrees Celsius, making it perfect for relaxing or floating around. Surrounded by shady trees, the sunlight creates sparkly patterns on the water – it’s magical! If you visit between November and May, you might spot the little red flying foxes hanging out in the trees nearby.

The pool is fed by natural springs, so the water is crystal clear and feels amazing. It’s a great place to splash around with your friends and family. Just be aware that during certain months, the pool might be closed due to flooding, so always check before you go!
