Yarrangobilly Caves Thermal Pool

If you’re following the thermal pool trail, then the Yarrangobilly Thermal Pool is another great place to visit. With a constant temperature of around 27 degrees, it’s probably best to visit when the weather is slightly warmer than it is in June or July. There is a lovely river walk that you can do as well, so whether you take a dip in the pool or not, it’s worth a visit.

The gravel roads that take you to and from the pool need some maintenance work, lots of massive potholes. From the carpark the pool is a 10-12 minute walk downhill, and depending on your fitness levels a 15-20 minute walk back uphill. The water was clean and lukewarm, toilets and changing facilities are at the top of a set of stairs so most people seemed to get changed poolside instead.

Yarrangobilly Thermal Pools were delightful and refreshing. We did the walk from the main carpark and then returned via the Thermal Pools carpark. It was a very pleasant walk with an awesome swim in the middle. The pools themselves are really good. Water bubbler, rubbish bins, toilets and change rooms are available at the pool.

Located near the river, and approximately 20 minute walk from the carpark this pleasant pool constructed by prisoners in the 1960s is a pleasant hot spring pool around 27 degrees Celsius all year round. The park around it has a change room, tables, and wood fuelled barbeques.

Heading here was part of our road trip to Melbourne. It’s a pretty easy drive from Tumut and the 700 metre walk down the hill was worth it. the walk back up took a little longer - note here, take your time and take water. Once in, the water was really lovely and it’s fairly deep which was a surprise for me.

Pool was a little cool. Its a thermal pool not a hot spring. Very clean. Very enjoyable. Nice walk by the river

Great place for a swim. I had a great day even though the weather was about 5 degrees Celsius.While a thermal pool it is not a hot spring so adjust your expectations accordingly, and you'll have a great time. The main pool is 1.7m at it's shallowest and 2.5m for most of it, so only go if you know how to swim.The 700m walk from the carpark is steep so some level of fitness is required. The change rooms and toilets are basic as you might expect from a national park.

Pool was deep at 2.5 m which was nice for jumping in and diving and swimming. Shallow pool also available. Average temp of 27c made it a pleasant swim year round. Steep hike in but only 700m or the longer way in along the river. Great spot to watch the many kangaroos too eating the fresh grass around. There are toilets and a dressing room. Great natural environment.

We visited the thermal pools between Christmas and New Year, 22/23. My elderly mother was with us and she is mobility impaired however we were determined to get her down to the pool for a dip. We asked questions of one of the rangers about the best way down (there are two options, and as it turned out neither were possible for mum) and they offered to run her down in their work vehicle. And then arranged to come and pick her up after an hour and a half.I won’t name them here in case it wasn’t protocol (don’t want to get them into trouble) however we were so thankful and it meant my mum could have this beautiful experience.For the rest of us, we went down the bush track, which was a gorgeous is challenging at times walk, and back via the graded road which is steep but shorter than bush track.The pool itself is cool water even though it said heated to 27 degrees it felt cooler than that, which was refreshing on such a warm day.Another thing: the people at the park office could not have been more helpful, in explaining where everything was, access to the different types of caves etc.Truly a lovely visit, highly recommended.

One of the best natural thermal pool I have ever visited. The water is warm and heated 27 degrees throughout the year. So calm, beautiful and relaxing place. Just 5-10 min walk from car park.
