The Bridge aka the spot aka HotnCold ihas so many names that when you get here, you can all agree with your fellow swimmers that it's amazing.

You need to travel about forty kilometres south of Rotovegas and look out for the "Waiotapu Thermal Park" sign. This is the first entrance. Keep going about five hundred metres and you turn into the second entrance. Keep going another five hundred metres down a narrow and winding road and you'll see a small bridge. You have made it!

If you feel alone, don't . Chances are you will be in good company i.e. other punters keen for a swim.

Not so secret at all, eh?

Another hot pool in the Rotorua-Taupo area. Not as great as Kerosene Creek in my opinion, but still amazing little find. Definitely worth a visit.

OK, just like Kerosene Creek, thanks to the age of the internet this spot is not so secret any more! This is a bit of a drive from Rotorua (about 30 minutes) and is actually in between Rotovegas and Taupo. I'd suggest going on your way to Taupo, or maybe after a day of exploring Waiotapu Thermal Valley. It can get quite busy so try to go on a weekday, or early in the morning if you want to avoid the tourists!
