Kerosene Creek

Hot spring Murupara, Waikato, New Zealand

What to expect

Kerosene Creek is a natural hot spring located in the Rotorua region of the central North Island of New Zealand. The hot spring is a small stream that flows downhill through natural bush, with a corrugated iron changing shed and several small hot pools formed by bathers. The water temperature ranges from tepid to hot, and the area is surrounded by native bush and a waterfall. Visitors can enjoy a thermal swim, ease aches and pains, and experience a sense of wellbeing. However, it's essential to be aware of the dangers of theft from vehicles and to keep valuables secure. Additionally, the area is isolated, and visitors are advised not to go alone. Some visitors may also want to be aware that nudity is common in the area
