There’s a special kind of magic that happens when the ancient waters of the Great Artesian Basin rise to the surface in Cunnamulla. Nestled on the banks of the Warrego River, the Cunnamulla Hot Springs is more than just a place to take a dip — it’s a complete wellness experience, blending outback charm with modern luxury.

An Outback Experience Like No Other

While many travellers know Queensland for its beaches and reef, few realise that deep in the heart of Outback Queensland lies a world-class hot springs experience. The Cunnamulla Hot Springs is the only facility of its kind in the state, offering visitors a chance to connect with both the land and themselves in an unforgettable way.

Here, relaxation takes centre stage. Whether you’ve arrived after a long drive or you’re just looking to escape the everyday, the hot springs provide the perfect reset button.

Cunnamulla Hot Springs

More Than Just a Pool

What sets Cunnamulla Hot Springs apart isn’t just the artesian water itself — it’s the full suite of experiences designed to nourish both body and mind.

  • Infinity pools with Warrego River views – watch the sunset while soaking in mineral-rich waters that have been underground for thousands of years.

  • Relaxation lounge – unwind with soothing background music, complimentary herbal tea, or try the leg massage machines between dips.

  • Spa-style extras – with state-of-the-art facilities and little luxuries (including barista coffee on site), you’ll feel like you’re at a day spa in the middle of the Outback.

  • Clay rituals & cultural connection – experience the grounding power of mineral clays and learn about the deep cultural significance of water in this region.

The Story Beneath the Surface

The water that fills the pools at Cunnamulla Hot Springs comes from the Great Artesian Basin — one of the largest underground freshwater reservoirs in the world. Having travelled through layers of ancient rock for millennia, the water emerges rich in natural minerals, believed to have therapeutic benefits for the body.

This connection to the land and its resources is central to the Hot Springs experience, reminding us of the importance of slowing down, respecting country, and taking time to care for ourselves.

Stay Longer, Relax Deeper

Many visitors arrive planning just a quick soak, but soon discover that one day simply isn’t enough. With 2, 3, and 5-day passes available, you can enjoy the full experience at your own pace — and the more you bathe, the more you save.

Combine your visit with the many other attractions in the Paroo Shire: explore the Artesian Time Tunnel, fossick for opals at Yowah, enjoy birdwatching at Bowra Wildlife Sanctuary, or immerse yourself in the vibrant local events calendar.
