Mataranka Thermal Pools
Mataranka pool underwater
You can soak in the warm waters that bubble up from deep underground here, shaded by tall and ancient Livistonia Palm trees. A great way to end the day or rest during it.
The pools are only just off the highway and the sandy bottomed lagoon pools are a welcomed relief for all travellers to the region.
