Reviews of Hamurana Springs Nature Park & Golf Course
J.Very cool spot with natural springs and beautiful redwood walk. But $18 per adult is bit too much for just the walk and for maintaining the walkway.
J. H.Beautiful natural springs with a short walk through redwoods and over a few bridges. S very calming place, healthy fauna and flora. Bird life in the awa/stream. The colours of the water are magnificent, blues and greens.
You pay a small fee to enjoy this area, a easy walking track we walked in about 30 minutes but of course added on time to stop and enjoy the views. At the main source of the awa is the spring where you can make a wish ☀️
R. G.Great little nature walk. The redwoods are absolutely stunning and the beauty and clarity of the streams and springs are something out of a fairy tale.
Great little walk to do on a sunny day, well worth the cost of admission.
G. B.Amazing place for people who loves to walk ...it will seem like u are lost under the big trees but its not my kids loved it and the most important part was that it has a wishing well ....
D. N.Great walk through a redwood forest along the amazingly clear and sparkling river. Costs a bit to get in, but very reasonable and definitely worth it, entry through the golf clubhouse. Some very nice picnic spots along the way if you wanted to take one with you.
D. F.Love this place but unfortunately they're charging a fee now and most family won't be able to afford going there anymore. What a shame!
A. G.Great walk today, sun was out and the kids enjoyed this little adventure. Marnie is n great host, very funny and sassy, served the coldest beer and ciders...isr creams for the kids, overlooking the beautiful golf course. Will definitely be back!
M. B.What a wonderful place to take the family! A stunning walk. Huge redwoods and a lot of native flora. Cheerfully met by the loveliest person at the gate who later provided the young ones bean bags to use while eating our picnic lunch. Lunch was enjoyed beside the water where ducks, geese and swans swam.
T. A.Had a lovely Sunday lunch with great company and entertainment. So relaxing. Meals were all delicious and reasonably priced. Definitely worth a visit.
M. J. R.The walk was good and refreshing but saw some rubbish along the way, even old shoes. i feel like the price is a bit high.
D. F.Love Hamurana. I have known Hamurana since I was born...it is my home...so call be biased if you will. Its just a lovely quiet place...very beautiful, very well looked after. This is not the sort of place you dash into to tick it off. Hamurana is a place you take your time and stroll...slowly...and enjoy the quiet and solitude and nature.
K. N.Absolutely gorgeous spot, incredibly peaceful and absolutely worth the small entry fee. It was so cool watching the springs bubbling up!
Ka tuku mihi atu ki a koe ki Ngāti Rangiwewehi for looking after and sharing this place with us 😊
K. W.This place is stunningly beautiful. I highly recommend going here to anyone who wants to see a beautiful piece of nature. Wear good shoes and be prepared to spend a couple of hours there if you want hike the whole path.
There is also a bus for those who would rather not walk. You miss a few things from the bus but it is still a beautiful ride. The bus also takes everyone back from the far side of the hike for free.
D. R.Lovely looking place. River is beautiful and so are the red woods. The plants are beautiful and it's very peaceful. But the area isn't very big and for $18 per person (unless you live in Rotorua) it's not worth it. To make it worse half the path was closed as they were apparently doing repairs (even though they weren't and it was perfectly safe). We hate to take a detour around it and we couldn't go out the normal route so we had to sneak out. It also used to be free and now it's $18. I would rather spend my money somewhere else. It was beautiful but definitely not worth the $18 (NZ).
L. S.Wonderful piece of nature.
Tranquility springs to mind. (pun intended) (;
Really astounding how much water flows through this spring!
The short walk to the spring, through a small park / redwood forest is also very nice!
R. N. (.This place is good but things to know that this place charge $18 per adult which is expensive for this place as nothing much to see it’s just a walk to the wood with scenic views only
Heaps of car park
Public toilet
And nice place to kids
Just not worth it for $18 per adult
Few pics attached
W.Beautiful piece of New Zealand nature. The walk up to the spring, through the grove of redwood trees is just spectacular.
R. K. A.Was one of the best free place to go to in Rotorua till they fixed 18$pp. It’s a relatively easy walk from the car park through the red wood Forrest and around the spring. What you see here is some clearest spring with multitude of colors and the source of lake Rotorua. Not too sure of the price though.
K. W.I can even breathe the real virgin narure here. After buying 2 tickets (18 nzd each), we cross the bridge. A lot of ducks swimming and bathing are easily seen. Clear water from surface to the bottom. After the bridge, you'll see a yard and a park. Then move to the tall red trees and take nice photos there. There is a monument after that. Go early morning, take a deep breath of fresh air. Trust me, it's worth visiting.
L. H.Amazing amazing amazing! I have never seen such clean beautiful water in my life EVER! This natural water spring has been beautifully preserved, and the nature reserve is very well kept and clean
E. F.On the surface of it, $18 to walk through a park sounds a bit expensive. Trust me, it's worth it.
At the end of the day, this is truly a stunning area, and both myself and my partner were happy to pay this cost.
It's hard to describe, but possibly one of the most tranquil walks I've ever been on, and I highly recommend people give it a go.
E. B.The springs are beautiful. The walk around is so peaceful and tranquil, and the deep Hangarua spring is well worth the trip. It's the perfect escape from the business of other tourist attractions. The springs is obviously not one of the most visited tourist attractions around Rotorua, which you could tell as you arrived at midday and there were only 4 other cars in the car park.
People have complained about $18 fee but it is so well maintained and kept to such a high standard we were very happy to pay this.
We spent over an hour here just walking round slowly and sitting on the grass. Perfect place to come alone, in a group or with kids!
R.Charge too much. We can see the same clear water stream in Blue Springs for free.
A. L. C.The water is crystal blue and changing color by different reflection.
And the cold spring from hundreds down depth of the earth is quite stunning. Also enjoy a quiet meditation along the redwoods.
H. N.Beautiful hike up through the redwood grove to see the spring's headwaters. The stream and spring were super blue with lots of water fowl and other birds in the ecosystem around us. Very relaxing and tranquil.
J. B.Beautiful reserve with gorgeous, towering Redwood Trees and stunning lakes. A lot of bird life here adds to the calmness and natural beauty and vibe to the whole place. Definitely would recommend anyone visiting Rotorua to visit here and have a leisurely walk through it.
J. C.Took a little while to find the entrance of this wonderful walk and well worth spending at least an hour to leisurely walk through the tracks. Well shaded area and well maintained.
R. C. L.It is beautiful and good to have a walk, but need more attractions.
V.Place is beautiful. Its quite a short walk 30-40 min, we only did the main one. I believe it's better to go in the morning because of the sun position, otherwise the sun might be covered by the trees in the right edge.
I've got to say that for 18 bucks it's considerably expansive. Ive been to many other beautiful places in new zealand which were free or way cheaper. 8-10 bucks would be more suitable.
s. r.Nice little walk. There is entry fee.
T. K.It was short of maintenance otherwise I would of given it a 5 star
J.Great little walk. Be better if they continued to focus on the conservation of the area. Especially the aquatic weeds.
T.This is so un-new zealand. We don't rip people off for sightseeings. $18 entry fee just to see natural springs is non sense.
M. T.I'm not supporting $18 fee but one good thing... not many people there because of it and I really enjoyed sacred, quiet time by myself.
I hope they use those benefits from fee to maintain, protect environment or something else for our mother earth not their own greed.
O. N.Glorious walk with mighty redwood trees, a beautiful stream with fish and a super cool spring. Loved it!
I definitely think it was worth 18 NZD.
K. L.Nice and relaxing walk, water so clear that you can see very clearly of the odd fish and how deep the spring is! Amazing!
R. M.A unique walk along the stream to the source- spring water. Although this is not as pretier as Blue springs in Tapapa, here you can see two unique things. Dancing sand- its a simple thing but looks really cool in reality. Secondly the starting point of a stream that is 15m deep- it comes really well in a photo take from top of the viewpoint. Ramanan Arampamoorthy
R. M.Beautiful place, so peaceful! Don't think you should have to pay for it though?
v. m.Seeing is believing, Crystal clear water. Nice little walk around the lake and you come across little spots where you can see lake bed and appriciate its beauty. Walking in Redwood forest is very refreshing. Nice hidden place just 20 minute drive from city centre
M. R.Amazing walking track and a welcoming staff at the entrance who is very helpful
E. P.Relaxing and beautiful! Very nice welcome...not only by the staff. You will see when you go!
T. J.The iwi are now looking after this jewel ( had been DOC) , so with the $18 each I hope they deliver true Manaakitanga, our experience was lovely , I really hope they showcase this wonder.
y. v. z.Love, love, love. $18 entry and about 20 min easy walk. You can take pictures of the jumping sand with waterproof phone
E.Beautiful natural walk and spring river. I came aug of 2017 and it was free, now it costs $18 per adult and I don’t see any improvements. Not quite worth the money but still a nice place to visit.
S. G.Peaceful serene place to relax and retreat from urban life hustle and bustle. Not many activities though. Scenic spots with ducks and geese swimming in crystal clear spring water with Fissidens visible from above the water.
C.Didn't stop there bur looks beautiful, I'm definitely taking the family for a visit
P. Z.This is great. Make sure you bring your polarised glasses, they make the whole experience a lot better.
T.Perfect for a gentle stroll. Stunning scenery. Peaceful atmosphere. Visited a few years back - when it was free - but more than happy this time around to support the Iwi who have reclaimed this paradise. Well worth the small entry fee, and I noticed several improvements this time around too, so obviously it is a contribution well spent.
T. H.Great view, such clear water, so peaceful and plenty of bird life, NZ native birds
H. P.Beautiful reserve. Very well kept and peaceful. Well worth a visit.
R. S.The place is quite amazing to go to. A lot of great photoshoot places. Including the very tall trees, this beautiful lake, etc
A. L.Good place to explore with kids. Easy walk
A. P.Simple and beautiful place. Amazing to watch spring water coming out of the natural groundwater well.
Y. J.Beautiful and peaceful place for short walk.
R. S. (.Interesting short walk to very deep spring with 4.5 million litres per hour flow feeding Lake Rotorua
W.Beautiful nature. You have to see it to believe that places like this exist. Enjoyable for all ages and fitness levels.
L. M.What's the use of having a beautiful place like this when its closed 3 days a week even in the school holidays?
Had visitors here who wanted to go through but couldn't because it was closed. That's why I'm not renewing my card, will go to the Redwoods instead.
It used to be great
S. E.Haumurana Springs is a beautiful and interesting place.
N.We go here to swim across the road ,its a beautiful place to take the kids for a swim and a picnics the water is fresh in the stream💗
M. W.I stopped by on a Sunday afternoon and it was not busy at all. The trail was peaceful and the stream is very beautiful
C. R. A.Beautiful park but need to take tickets to to enter which is bit high.
M.Lovely place to go relax enjoy a meal and watch the golfers lovely menu awesome hosts.
J.Very nice walk but sad u have to pay to do it
A. W.Peaceful and beautiful forest and spring. Not worth the $18 per person for a 30 minute walk. Would happily pay $10 as a tourist.
P. A. P.One of the best places that I've been in my life. It looks like a place in heaven.
B. B.It was nice, I’m not sure though if it’s nice enough to spend $18 on. Nevertheless it’s quite nice to walk around and whatever. Facilities are good and well maintained.
M. S.A beautiful piece of paradise! A definite must do if you in Rotorua. Take a picnic basket along.
G. W.Amazing place! The water was so blue! The walk is nice and peaceful and there are many great birds to see
A.This is a hidden Gem. Very peaceful and spiritual place. A must see.
L. T.Wonderful place to visit. Glorious redwoods. Beautiful clear water in stream, with lovely colours in the sand. Just too expensive ($18) unless you have a super gold card
D.Beautiful turquoise spring in a Red Wood forest.
M. &. M. H.Great place, crystal clear waters, plenty of bird life.
B. M.Peaceful and natural environment. During the Covid period it's $18 per adult. No dogs allowed unless it's a guide or companion dog with certification. The receptionist was brilliant with his service and hospitality on the Sunday we visited. Informed us with everything we needed to know and looked after us and other visitors professionally well! Cafe has license to sell Alcohol (beers) you can T up on the golf course and then go for a stroll in the awesomely preserved piece of history that is the Humarana Springs.
R.Beautiful place, serene calm and definitely recommend the stream and dancing sands
J. W.Crossing th bridge up to nine. Good course, great layout.
S.Awesome, never been disappointed
R. H.Lovely and peaceful place for a walk.
A. C. (.Beautiful spring. Entre fee is high though
T.Nice beautiful walk in the wood and water absolutely stunning
l. g. t.Sublime natural spring, the largest in the North Island. Guided tours with tangata whenua Maori and lovely meditative areas.
Y. M.Pure water emerging from the ground, lovely walk and awesome scenery
S.A really picturesque place to stop for a swim on the opposite side of the lake from Rotorua.
v. v.Tranquility, comfortable place, clear streams and sapphire springs, you can also feel the redwoods here, where the dancing sand pool is very special
M. I.Young redwood trees at 100 years old. Still can grow higher. One of the oldest trees that can live
D.Clarity, peace, and a lively, friendly staff at the clubhouse
S.Did the whole walk in the weekend. Natural beauty.
P. K.Things have changed a bit since we last visited. It used to be free to visit but now is $18 per adult, which is great if you've never been but steep if you're looking for for a quiet walk.
Having said all that, it is a beautiful place and worth the visit to s truly magnificent natural spring.
L.Amazing. Hands down the most peaceful place you will find. The staff member at the gate is also super helpful, friendly and approachable. I think his name is Rani. I've been coming here once a year for 4 years now and every year the tracks are improving.
T.Clean fresh water. Just beautiful! I'm 57 now, but when I was 5 my dad used to farm the gulf course.. obviously before it was a golf course. I have loads of fond memories. It's even more beautiful than I remember.
L.Really lovely and calming place to visit. People great and they have an awesome Cafe.
B.Night lights walkway was great the only negative thing was the wait, which was about 2 hours from when we lined up, but they are trialling a new system where you get your time slot and then can go off and have a bite to eat and then come back for your time and then get in a shorter queue. So you aren't standing in the queue for all of the wait time.
B.It's a very popular spot; there are people walking their dogs 🐕, swimming 🏊♀️ in the lake, toilets 🚻nearby, and it's probably my favourite place just outside of Rotorua away from all the touristy stuff. There's also a dairy here. No gas station though.
L. T.Absolutely loved this experience. Really friendly and helpful folk who go out of their way to ensure your comfort and safety. The water is unbelievable, the walk is easy and the waterfowl very entertaining. Got to the viewing platforms very comfortably with a stroller so is very possible for a wheelchair.
S. D.Great walk and beautiful springs! The redwood grove is very peaceful to walk through.
However, it now costs $18/adult to visit the springs as the site has been given back to the original owners. It is quite expensive for what is a reasonably short walk.
M. A. L.Unexpected place while driving, but worth it a stop, very clear water
A. G.Awesome walk through a beautiful park. The stream is crystal clear and you can even grab a drink from the dancing sands area. Just be aware that this is now a paid area - $18 adult, $8 kids and $50 family pass
k.Wonderful place to visit it is absolutely the money worth it. The team is super kind and you get bird food for free to feed the ducks and birds. The water is absolutely beautiful. I'm recommending it to visit with your family or just alone to take some time out.
M.Cost a few dollars, but so worth it (for me). I love the solitude, the beautiful music made by Mother Nature. ... birdsong, leaf rustles, tree creaks, water ripples, ... and the sights, birds of many species, a myriad of trees, majestic redwoods,
And, and, and we even had our team meeting under the trees, so inspirational
Thanks Ngati Rangiwewehi
Z.A free and great place to walk.
C.Crystal clear water coming out from a natural spring. Lake teeming with birds and wildlife. Magnificent Redwood trees reaching high up the sky . Quiet peaceful surrounding except for the occasional bird chirping. Lake as still as glass.
The calming beauty of this place is overwhelming. Walking around is a spiritual, healing experience. I hope everyone who comes this way will continue to respect this place for future generations to enjoy.
F. S.Gentle walk for most abilities. Lovely aspects and mostly in shade. Fabulous redwood trees. Free entry for gold card holders. Only reached by private vehicles or tour buses. No public transport. ❤❤❤
M. G.So Peaceful here and the water is fresh at one end, and well runs into the Lake surrounded by Rotorua residents. :)
V. R.Short easy walk a loop, through lovely redwoods with views of spring with swans and ducks. Thought cover charge a bit much at $18 each. But it is beautiful.
P. G.Beautiful walk and gorgeous spring. I think this is one of the best memories I have. Kani, one of the caretakers of the reserve, is great and took time out of her schedule to chat and let my husband and I know the significance of the springs to the Maori people. I often think of this place and how lucky we were to have met Kani! Thank you for sharing you culture with us and I hope we meet again!
N.Hamurana Springs is very nice, Health care, Good
M. B.It's a beautiful place to calm down and explore at the same time. I loved it. The 18$ entry is totally fine, because they take a lot of care of the nature there 😊
F.Awesome place to visit and a great walk. beautiful site and views
S.It used to be free, trust me it was amazing to go to. But I calculated my whole family it's $80 .It's free if your a local but you need a card which is also $10 each. I'll go again when I have my card. Otherwise I'm sad it costs money now
F. Y.Used to be freely accessible under public ownership and operated under Department of Conservation guardianship whom put in much of the infrastructure (parking lot, bridges, viewing platforms etc) with maintenance originally carried out by local volunteers for everyone to enjoy. This place was (and no doubt still is) a strikingly beautiful place to visit and wander through.
Park land it would appear has been transferred as part of a treaty settlement and sounds like it's now (or at least leading towards) being operated as a fully fledged commercial tourism enterprise (if the "Official” replies are anything to go by, waged staff rather than volunteers, needing public liability insurance, commercial management structure, etc).
I won't past judgement here how I feel, but will be interested to go back and read the full (legal) details of the treaty settlement.
L.Beautiful blue spring
R. K.Simply amazing.
Will return many times.
H.Great venue lovely people
J.Great meal and singing service is great.
L.Beautiful place. So pretty, peaceful and clean. Dancing sands and blue waters
C. H.Absolutely beautiful calming walkway. The natural bird life and native fauna tickled your senses along with the gentle awesome springs with their fish life flowing with the flow. Totally recommend.
R. H.It was alright, nice view and clear blue water. But the most attracted spot to go over there was the dancing sand and blue water ( looks like a wishing well). The management needs to maintain the cleanlines, put more SIGNS on the area and make it more awesome place.
h.Free public BBQ, quiet place, perfect for breakfast
M.These springs are really impressive. You can see down into the hole through clear cold water. It then flies towards the lake, still clear as glass. The setting is lovely with short walks through the trees.
V.Beautiful reserve. Total 30 mins walk through flat terrain. Totally worth a visit.
양.Nice and wonderful more than I thought
N.Easy walk through stunning Redwoods and beautiful native bush to view crystal clear spring waters. A hidden gem in the Rotorua region.
L.Very peaceful. I think Summer would be better than Winter, as the colours were very dull compared to your publicity pics. Thanks for making the walk free for pensioners!
J. B.A simply stunning walk! I don't think I've ever seen water as still and as clear as it is here. Walking with giant Redwoods is also an incredibly experience. Free and beautiful
N. G..
(03/2017)
Well kept secret of Rotorua which is missed by most of the tourists.
Road to this destination is easy to drive on.
Beautiful clear natural water spring filled with fishes and ducks.
Well maintained.
Amazing views.
Nice track for walking after crossing the hanging wooden bridge.
Peaceful location.
S.Pure natural beauty in the outdoors. Lovely stream & park next to lake Rotorua. I was later shocked to learn there is now a charge to visit this place. I would not go back. Rating downgraded $18 is unethical.
K.I played golf there, it was awsome, food is fantastic, great people. I'll be back one day
A.Great short walk in peaceful surroundings
M. T.A wonderful reserve to walk through, the wildlife are in their natural habitat was lovely to see them on their nests on the the water. Warm, friendly staff who are so informative. Will visit again
H.Beautiful, tranquil spot. Shame you have to pay for it now, I can't see that any additional maintenance has gone into the infrastructure, but still a lovely place to have a walk around and do some contemplating
D.It was so beautiful and peaceful. Truly one of the most magical places I've ever been to. I would give it 5 stars but I think it's a bit overpriced .
P.A stunning clear fresh water river running through a natural setting of exotic redwood and native trees. Peaceful and calming.
M. R.Nice way to spend time with the family walking around this place, gorgeous redwood trees, stunning blue crystal clear water
E.Really lovely place, we took a picnic and sat under a big tree, beautiful walk around the pristine water. Note: you have to pay for entry now. ❤
S.Beautiful walk and scenery
S. M.Haven't been for 40 years would be nice if the Cafe was still open
R.Customer service is amazing at the ticketing office. Very beautiful, scenic and well kept grounds.
I don't understand why it is so expensive to get in though.
P.Really amazing place. Much under rated. The $18 fee is bit more but they are doing it to conserve the place so happy with that.
M.Need a break from the rat race of life. Take the time to find peace and solitude of the river so clear it will take your breath away. Minimal entre fee. You wont be disappointed.
C.I have had a really good time there, enjoyed the experience of nature and walking track along the crystal clear river and wishing well spring. I rate this place a 5 Star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
S.I have visited Hamurana springs on multiple occasions and it never fails to deliver from the sunniest day to over cast and raining. Just open your eyes and you will also see what a slice of paradise we have in our backyard.
K. M.Gorgeous reserve and very friendly staff. One ticket for the whole year. Under 5s free. Just stunning
p.Beautiful spot I go mainly to fish at the stream mouth. When you go through here and see size of some of the fish in that amazing clear water it's quite stunning
D.Lovely peaceful place - pity about the very high price - $18 for adults and approx $50 for a family for a very leisurely 1 hour amble around 🤔
J. N. M.The waters are beautiful, the walking trails are peaceful and the local birds are friendly! Highly recommended stop-over if you have an hour to spare in Rotorua
H.A stunning place to walk and reflect, a natural treasure with pristine springs and mighty redwood trees. Can be busy at times but if your not in a rush kick back and take in this special place.
P.What a wonderful place but it is a pity they have put a cover charge on this natural wonder. It's beautiful but not worth the $18 they have recently imposed on the area.
S.Very beautiful place and amazing nature... You can see the pure water coming out from underground... Spring produce 4 million liters of water per hour and is the deepest in north island.
M.One of the most beautiful springs i have ever seen! They even have a red wood forrest! I really recommend a visit but unfortunately it is quit expansiv for just a walk.
S.An atmospheric delight and beauty - just being there is a very special experience.
G. R.Although there is now a rather dare cover charge of $18 this place is truly beautiful and so peaceful I wish I'd been able to stay longer and being with a local it only cost $10 for the two of us
K.Thought it was nice but needs cleaning up.theres so much dead furns leaves and sticks in water when u pay 18 adult you expect tidy..sad to see something beautiful messy 🤔
K.Council workers need to clean all the area, not just some places😕😕😕 Not very clean at the park by the bridge and at the mouth of the stream the waterway needs to be cleared of snags. Quite dangerous for the younger kiids.
L.So very perfect, amazing walk. We are so lucky to have this in our country. The gentleman who check led us in is a national treasure
N.Beautiful place. The golf range was a bonus and staff are just marvellous
J.The springs are located next to the golf course. It's not well sign posted, but you just need to keep an eye out for the Hamurana golf resort and stop in the carpark.
The walk to the springs goes through a Redwood forest grove. It's not a long walk, but still nice to stroll among the giant trees. The path runs along the crystal clear river. Keep an eye out for the trout playing in the waters.
The spring itself has a high and a low viewing platforms, offering a great view of the water pouring out of the ground. The return path brings you to another feature called the dancing sands where another spring comes out of the ground causing the sand to bubble randomly.
L.Hamurana Springs is a special place, for those that appreciate the magic and tranquility of nature. The clarity and colours in the stream are breath taking... best in the sunlight. And the spring head herself is mesmerising and serene. The walk is easy and often amongst forest. With crystal clear streams and dancing sands from smaller springs bubbling up along the walk. If you seek restful and contemplative then I highly recommend this most beautiful place. Kia Ora local Iwi for explaining the changes. And thank you for the local passes.
J.Crystal clear waters, beautiful redwood forest. Photographers dream. Easy 30-40 minute walk. Interesting geological sights along the way.
R.I haven't been in for some years but I hear it is expensive to visit. Was an interesting walk to the springs.
D.Love this place. Quiet and peaceful.
But, as it turns out, theres now a $ charge to get in. Looking at the price I'd be surprised if anyone bothered. Such a shame.
D.Beautiful place with large well cared for area. Best in afternoon as the stream is shaded by the redwood trees in the morning. Fee to enter.
C.The $18 entrance fee put me off. I remember when it was free and it was a beautiful walk. At least GoldCard members are free.
H.One of the most beautiful places I've been. Make sure you walk the full track. NB it costs money to enter.
D.Not long walk through red wood forest lead you to amazing Hamurana springs. That's just 15m depth hole in the ground full of absolutely pure water
S.Breathtaking and beautiful spot. Gentle easy 20minute walk. Lots of picnic areas on the banks of the springs. Worth visiting
M.Kani is the best guide ever!! Stunning.
R.Beautiful scenic place to roam around at a fair price
E.Amazing experience. The red woods work has a movie set up experience.
L.Do you like ducks and swans? Then this is the place to go for a walk, they do not have efpost so bring cash with you when visiting.
N.It's an amazing experience to explore the crystal clear water following in peace.
