Metung Hot Springs - Metung, Victoria

Absolutely magical!!

We took our 10 year old daughters for a well deserved family escape and it was perfect!

My husband and I enjoyed some time to relax together with no distractions, just quiet moments and the most spectacular views.

The girls explored, we floated and it felt like we pressed the pause button on life for a while.
Left feeling relaxed, recharged and so connected.
Thanks Metung Hot Springs, we will be back very soon!

We recently stayed overnight for glamping. Great room/tent – well equipped and beautiful. In fact, choosing the hill view room was much better than the lagoon view rooms, but surely you get more wildlife activity overnight. The staff were lovely and did their best. 5 stars for the stay!

However, the hot springs unfortunately were not anything special. They are small and don’t have the capacity to accommodate all the guests – every bath was literally jam-packed. The operating hours are too short, starting at 9:00 and closing by 18:00. There are two baths available for overnight guests until 20:00, but one of them has no lights and is practically unusable.

Another issue relates to the general rules in Australia, where people are allowed to bathe with clothes on. This is a serious hygiene concern, for example we saw a family using bathes with their cultural dress on from neck to toe, this was surely too much. Unfortunately, this will be our last visit to Peninsula Hot Springs at any location. We tried Alba, and they have stricter hygiene rules, which are much more acceptable. Compared to Europe, where wearing any clothes – even swimsuits – in hot springs is not allowed, the difference in standards is huge and tells the whole story.

The hot springs are an incredible experience! They are worth making a special trip to the area for.

The springs are set in lovely gardens across a sprawling area similar to a theme park (in size not vibe!). Some of the springs and the barrels have incredible views across the lake. There are large pools big enough for several groups, small pools for 4 people and individual barrels. The temperature in the pools we swam in ranged from 36-41°C. There are also hammocks to relax in. If I were to visit again, I would take food and a book and plan on spending the whole day.

The hot springs are an absolute must see experience. Highly recommended!

I’ve so far been to many hot springs in Victoria and NSW. I recently visited Metung Hot Springs and while the setting is peaceful and the natural environment is great, there are definitely a few areas for improvement.

Firstly, there’s a clearly lack of pools — you can find yourself walking a long distance between different sections, only to realize there aren’t that many pools available. Some parts of the site also appear unfinished, with construction still ongoing, which slightly affects the overall experience.

The footpaths definitely need some attention — they’re not very barefoot-friendly, which is a big issue when patrons love walking around in comfort. Also, it’s quite a walking distance to the top of the hill. Adding a wet sauna would also be a great addition to make the facilities more complete.

Another thing to note is the location — it’s quite far away from any major cities. While that can be part of the charm, it also means attracting visitors from Melbourne or road trippers will be challenging. Given the current pricing, visitors may just stop by other places closer to Melbourne, which offer much larger and more complete facilities for a similar price. There’s a lot of potential here, but a few key improvements are needed to make.

This is a lovely spot, but in comparison to other Hot Springs in VIC, there are few pools on offer. I know it's still a relatively new spot, but charging $65 (excl. robes & towels) for the few pools on offer is a bit steep. The design is similar to the Peninsula Hot Springs, and there is only about $10 price difference in the two locations, yet the Peninsula have so many more pools and relaxation areas. Metung, maybe lower your price until you're more established and have more to offer.

Beautiful place to relax! The barels had beautiful views and were incredible
Big and small pools for couples or big families with a nice temperature of 37 to 41 C. The sauna room to the lake with the glass windows was beautiful too.
It was worth the trip from Melbourne to Metung Hot Springs

We had a gift voucher to use for the Hot Springs. So we decided to use it and stay there on a Tuesday night. This was a perfect time to go. There was us and only one other couple staying the night, so we had the place to ourselves. We were in a hilltop tent, which personally, we thought was better than the lagoons as its alot more private.
From 6pm the guests have access to some pools for a further 2 hours. We made the most of this and spent that time star gazing whilst lounging in the pool. What a relaxing and enjoyable way to watch the moon and stars.
The "tent" is a cut above what you would normally call a tent, very fancy and comfortable with your own personal barrels on the deck for your private use. Filling them is an art but you soon get the hang of it. The nights are starting to become cold and the A/C did a great job keeping inside warm. Overall the tent exceeded our expectations.
Overall our experience (during the week) was fantastic, however I can understand some frustration if you were there on the weekend because it would be busy and the pools would be full. My recommendation (if life allows), go during the week, minimal crowds, quieter, and more relaxing.
Yes it was expensive(for a tent) but the experience didn't let us down.

The tranquillity and peacefulness was incredible. Not to mention staying in a glamping tent in the hilltops! The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. All round smiles 😃 from all. If you haven't already put this place on your must see and do this, please don't hesitate! You will not be disappointed....
