| 1423480 | 2016-07-22 00:47:00 | Has anybody been to the Okoroire Hot Springs? I wonder if it is worth a visit. I have had a look on Google and all I can find is the Okoroire Hot Springs Hotel and it does not say anything about the hot springs. Is it easy to locate? I would be interested to hear from somebody that has been there for a swim. Thank you. | Roscoe (6288) | ||

I believe they are much more developed now and better maintained. The pub is definitely worth a visit, it had a nice outdoor garden area when I went there all those years ago. Our local 60s Up group is planning a visit there sometime soon. Cheers, LL |

| 1423483 | 2016-07-22 03:09:00 | I used to live in the Area (Tirau) and went there a couple of times, had a nice meal at the restaurant as well. That was 20 years ago though :) Several pools at various temperatures, not much different than soaking in a large slightly murky spa honestly but not bad. Judging by the link LL posted there's been quite a lot of work done since my last visit, looks a lot flasher. There's a pub, restaurant, the hot pools, and a golf course. Also close to Tirau and Matamata if either of those interest you. |

| 1423485 | 2016-07-22 11:08:00 | It's a while since I've been there. I've seen it in various degrees of good and not so good. I suppose it depends on who is running it now. The pub was good and have had a few really good meals there. Your GPS or Google maps will get you there relatively easily, regardless of which route you take. Easy for me to say because I know the area. Some of the Auckland contingent, who drove down for a conference, did take a wrong turning or two but eventually made it. I suspect there may have been too much talking going on rather than keeping their eyes peeled for signposts. |

| 1423486 | 2016-07-23 07:44:00 | I use to holiday with relatives at nearby Te-Poi near an abandoned dairy factory. Been to Okoroire pub - not bad around 1979 -99. Kaimai ranges maybe worth a visit to collect spring water. Use to see people park at the top of summit roadside to walk to collect it. | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||
