"Kerosene Creek is a thermal hot spring with free access about 35kms south of Rotorua.
SECURITY NOTE - There have been a number of car break-ins at Kerosene Creek. If you have concerns, head to nearby Waikite Valley Thermal Pools and pay $12 with piece of mind!"

"Free to visit. A naturally heated geothermal *river* (I had no idea that was even possible, so this really blew my mind.) It's certainly not as luxurious, but it's perfect to replace the expensive spas if you're on a budget. "

"A must-do when in the area is the well-known Kerosene Creek which is a river with natural hot springs. Just walk down the path and find yourself a nice spot to soak in the hot water. There is no entrance fee."
