Since 1982, the springs are now part of the Avalon Springs Spa Resort Hotel and whilst the process of getting here, as well as the levels of luxury enjoyed by visitors from far and wide, are much improved since 200 years ago, the springs are as natural and perfect as they have always been.
Bursting from a fissure in the rock face, in a cavern some 5 meters underground, these waters have healing powers which have yet to be fully understood. The water comes to the surface at a constant 43ºC and by virtue of the fact that the rate of flow is unaffected, even by the worst droughts that the area has experienced, it is obviously coming from very deep down, with an estimated depth of the source at about 3kms.
By virtue of the fact that the water is 100% clear and clean with a near perfect Ph when it reaches the surface and it contains a number of minerals, chemicals and other trace elements, as well as being mildly radio active, it is obviously undergoing natural filtration and picks up properties of the various rock strata that it is being forced through.
Covering an area of a small house, the superlative Avalon suite, situated on the second floor of the Avalon Springs Hotel is the epitome of luxury and no expense has been spared in creating this suite. "The Avalon" comprises of 2, generous, double bedrooms, each a spectacle of mirrors and sumptuously furnished, with an inter-leading en suite bathroom. Air conditioning & ceiling fans will keep you cool in summer whilst under - floor heating ensures you stay snug and warm in winter.
The health, body and beauty treatments in the Spa has been rapidly growing in popularity over the past 12 years and has become well known for helping certain conditions such as migraines, circulation problems, stress related conditions, insomnia, arthritis etc.
