Cunnamulla Hot Springs, recently recognised by National Geographic as one of the top destinations in their ‘Best of the World’s “Worth the Trip” Wellness’ feature, offers visitors an unparalleled experience of relaxation, cultural immersion, and natural wonder.

Nestled amidst the picturesque landscapes of southwest Queensland, Cunnamulla Hot Springs stands as an inviting haven for travellers seeking a unique outback experience. Situated along the banks of the Warrego River, Cunnamulla unveils a landscape where vast plains seamlessly merge with boundless skies, offering a mesmerising escape from the hustle and bustle of urban life.

At Cunnamulla Hot Springs, guests can soak in one of seven hot-spring pools filled with water from the Great Artesian Basin, one of the world’s largest and deepest underground freshwater resources. These mineral-rich waters offer therapeutic benefits, promoting relaxation and rejuvenation for both body and mind.

In addition to the rejuvenating waters, visitors to Cunnamulla Hot Springs can immerse themselves in the rich cultural heritage of the region. The gardens surrounding the springs serve as a venue for frequent food and storytelling events hosted by local Indigenous groups.

Shaded by coolabah and eucalyptus trees lining the riverside, visitors can unwind and immerse themselves in their surroundings. Whether basking under the starlit skies of the outback during night-time soaks or enjoying the serenity of the landscape during the day, Cunnamulla Hot Springs offers a truly unforgettable experience.
