The Hastings Caves State Reserve is the setting of a complex of caves and a natural warm springs located 102 km (63 mi) south of Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. Newdegate Cave, the largest dolomite cave in Australia open to tourists, is a part of the complex.[1] They are located 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) from the nearby Lune River fossil/gem centre and the Ida Bay Railway.

The complex features natural warm springs, which cause many of the local streams to be at a year-round temperature of 28 °C (82 °F). This feeds a swimming pool at the Hastings Visitor Centre, which is available to visitors to swim in.[2]

The Hastings Visitor Centre was built in 2001 by Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife. Offering information, ticket sales, food and drink, souvenirs and free public WiFi. The Centre is a hub for the growing number of tourists that visit the Far South of Tasmania.
