| A rather ramshackle place |
Ngawha hot springs is a curious place. It has always been under-developed but the water is great. It costs $4 per person and the ambiance is rustic/dilapidated. Not much to please the eye - ragged bits of plywood as barriers and faded, peeling murals. The ground between the pools is muddy gravel and the pools themselves are mud- floored with wooden seats. But there are many small pools all different temperatures, some too hot to attempt. We found 3 good hot ones and a couple of cooler ones. The water is reputedly therapeutic - if slightly sulphuric smelling. A good place to while away an hour or two on a grey day.
