This small waterfall, which most people overlook, is one of my favorite spots in NZ. Total neck and shoulder massage, water about 103 degrees. Ahhhhhhhhhh

Visited kerosene creek in early March 2014. No problems driving to the parking place. My wife stayed in the car as we had been warned of possible break ins. A group of Bhuddists were using the upper pool, but I had the lower pool to myself for about 20 minutes. I was then joined by a friendly Aussie family. As always a joy to wallow in the hot running water in beautiful natural surroundings.

Have just spent a lovely evening at the creek… It’s the highlight of our annual Easter trip to Rotorua. No problems driving right to the track… We always go at sunset and light lots of candles along the banks. Magic.
