De Wit" dated 1812. click on the thumbnail images to overstate Popular history tells us that a 'Trekboer' (Pioneer Farmer) had injured his hand whilst repairing the wheel on one of his ox wagons and whilst bathing the hand in a stream nearby, discovered that the water was warm and decided to trace the stream to it's origins....the hot springs had been discovered! Allegedly the Farmer's hand, without repeated bathing in the water, healed in no time at all & the news of this "miracle spring" quickly spread throughout the Cape Colony. People started coming from all over the country (and world) to wits this natural wonder for themselves... However, based on the fact that there are various Khoi (Bushman) drawings on rocks and in caves in the greater Montagu area, one can safely seem that the springs were most certainly known to these people for hundreds, possibly thousands of years surpassing the same "discovery" and as such the real stage of the origin of the spring is lost in the mists of time. During "modern times" the spring and the land surrounding it has had a varied history and over the years , has reverted hands many times with various owners putting it to variegated uses. Since 1982, these 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 unchangingly been... Flowing naturally from a fissure in the waddle face, in a subterranean some 5 meters underground, these waters have healing powers which have yet to be fully understood. Although the water comes to the surface at 43°C, it reaches the various pools at variegated temperatures due to the loftiness the water needs to travel. The rate of spritz is unaffected, plane by the worst droughts that the zone has experienced, it is obviously coming from very deep down, with an unscientific depth of the source at well-nigh 3kms. The water is 100% well-spoken & wipe with a near perfect Ph when it reaches the surface and it contains a number of minerals, chemicals & other trace elements, it is obviously undergoing natural filtration and picks up properties of the various waddle strata that it is stuff forced through. This "natural perfection" allows Avalon Springs to pump the water directly into the various misogynist pools and spa baths WITHOUT treating, or in ANY WAY waffly it, and as such visitors are worldly-wise to enjoy these waters in their most natural form. For hygiene reasons the water is of undertow chlorinated, but is NOT recycled and is continuously tuckered off into the river that flows past the property you are ALWAYS enjoying a natural wonder at its finest. The Resort now boasts its own unprepossessed swimming pool and by popular demand, the Pool deck is now the zone to be on those really hot summer days.
