Your Suggestion
The pool is 1.5 metres long by 1 metre wide and would be deep enough to sit it. There was some hot water and some cold water and when mixed would have been warm at best. It wasn't inviting enough for me to try out. A previous tramper in January 2011 wrote in the hut book that they had tried it out and enjoyed it. There has only been 3-4 parties through the area in the 3 months since then, so it doesn't see much traffic. Simon Robinson
Your Suggestion
Pool is on the true left of the upper Kokatahi about 1km (30 minutes) downstream from the swingbridge leading to the old Top Kokatahi Hut Site (hut was moved upstream in 2008). It is midway between Crawford Junction andamp; Top Kokatahi Huts. It is about 5 metres from the river bank and is marked with some plastic bags tied in the scrub. There is a definite smell of sulphur in the air./n Access is either:/n 1. Upper the Toaroha and over Zit Saddle and#8211; 1.5 days tramp/n 2. Up the lower Kokatahi and#8211; track in a very bad way and#8211; at least 2 days tramp/n 3.
