Innot Hot Springs

On Tuesday we enjoyed a leisurely drive from Mission Beach to Innot Hot Springs, with a stop at the The Falls Teahouse in Milla Milla for a lovely lunch. We spent lots of time in the thermal pools at the Innot Hot Springs Holiday Village, although we didn't venture out to dig our own hole in the sand to enjoy the springs out in the creek. Save that for next time! I can recommend this as a great mini break, there are motel and 1 bedroom units, powered and unpowered camping available as well as Day Guest entry to the pools.
