Cow Stream Hot Spring, Hanmer Springs

In Nature

Canterbury (9)
North of Hanmer Forest Park, Hanmer Springs

Description

The pools downstream were better, one hot, one perfect one cold. We spent the day there, good 4×4 track, need low range and diff lock for a few spots. Get access to the combination lock for the gate through the DOC website. Register your car for the st james conservation park and they give you the combination, it changes every 2 weeks.

The pools have been well made with concrete and rocks, however there are a few leaks if a volunteer wants to fix them. There are a few sandflies around, same as everywhere.

From Hanmer, drive over Jacks Pass, turn left to St James Homestead, walk down Peters Valley and over Peters Pass to the Edwards River. Cow Stream is on the left, the hot pool is located at the foot of the hill.

About 10km walk.From midyear (2010) there will be 4WD drive access right to the pool through the Edwards Pass Entrance. [Peter H, NZ]
