About this place
The Perth River Hot Springs are small warm seeps in the upper Perth River valley near Scone Hut, in Westland Tai Poutini National Park. Getting there is a long backcountry tramp from the Whataroa valley, only for experienced, well equipped trampers, and you will need to dig and dam a pool yourself.
