Metung Hot Springs

Overview

The first phase of the ambitious hot springs-based Gippsland getaway, Metung Hot Springs, officially opened to the public late last year. The $100 million development from the minds behind Mornington Peninsula favourite, Peninsula Hot Springs, is a cool four-hour drive away from Melbourne and well-worth the journey.

The 25-acre site is a haven of wellness and indulgence, surrounded by coastal bushland and located within strolling distance of the quaint lakeside village of Metung. It currently boasts two bathing areas with multiple mineral-rich hot springs, a sauna, cold plunge pool, reflexology walk and day spa. For phase one, geothermal springs are open in the Bathing Valley, as well as the Hilltop Escarpment which overlooks the gorgeous Lake King.

But the crowning jewel here are the luxurious glamping tents, which come equipped with duo, geothermal bathing barrels. Overnight guests can enjoy private, 24/7 bathing barrels in luxurious glamping tents positioned by the lagoon or along the hillside.

If you're keen to explore more of regional Victoria this year, head this Gippsland newcomer for an indulgent weekend of bathing, pampering and glamping.
