Hot Springs Pools & Units
Moree sits above one of the world’s great artesian basins, and Hot Springs Pools & Units is built around the water rather than the other way round. The venue runs across two properties. The main site on Jones Avenue has 38 rooms and a spa pool with jets and water features. The second site is Gwydir Caravan Park, roughly a kilometre south under the same management, has four artesian thermal pools plus a 25-metre lap pool warmed to around 28°C.
The four thermal pools step down from 39°C to 34°C — warm enough to stay in for a long time.
The water throughout comes from the Great Artesian Basin — hot mineral-rich groundwater that reaches the surface without pumping. Moree markets itself as the artesian spa capital of Australia, and the pools here are the practical expression of that claim.
Pools are open from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM daily. Guests at the main Jones Avenue property get access to the Gwydir pools as well, which is worth factoring in when you book. The caravan park side suits a wider range of budgets, with powered and non-powered sites and camping alongside the motel rooms and cabins.
Seven in the morning to eight at night gives you a full day’s worth of pool access.
Reviews across 201 ratings average 4.2 out of 5. Recurring positives are the pools themselves and the straightforward access. Recurring complaints mention cleanliness of facilities and pool gates sometimes opening later than the stated 7:00 AM, particularly during school holidays. One long-term visitor summed it up plainly: “It’s nothing flash but we overlook that to be right at the spa pool.” The draw is the water and the access to it, not the fit-out around it.
