SAPPHIRE COAST - SPRING 2026 - REJUVENATE IN EAST GIPPSLAND 19 The Gippsland Lakes is a region that thrives in the spring, when locals and visitors alike take to the water for fishing, paddle-boarding, kayaking and other aquatic activities that make for fun in the sun. But a different kind of waterbased experience is on offer in Metung – and it's one that can be enjoyed regardless of the season. Metung Hot Springs is Gippsland's home of geothermal bathing, where those dropping into the quaint lakeside town can immerse themselves in the warmth of true mineral springs with views across a captivating landscape. Of course, geothermal bathing itself isn't a new thing in Metung: from the 1920s until the early 1990s, groups would warm up in two informal hot pools on the same site as the current Metung Hot Springs. Today's iteration, however, is a beautiful sight for sore eyes and weary bodies. Guests can enjoy a variety of hot springs bathing spots dotted across the undulating property, as well as saunas, geothermal showers, cold plunge pools, barrel baths, and a reflexology walk. At the top of the hill is the Hilltop Escarpment, which has numerous bathing barrels and other pools that overlook the expansive Lake King, or provide for a magical stargazing experience come winter nightfall. On-site glamping accommodation is available at Metung Hot Springs for those who'd like to retire after a day of relaxation. Glamping guests are treated to king-sized beds, ensuite bathrooms, daily in-room breakfast and private bathing barrels, all with picturesque nature views. Day spa treatments can be added to any booking to complete your restorative journey. Metung Hot Springs is located at 73 Storth Ryes Ave, Metung, and is open every day of the year.
