About Us
A special place, created by community, cared for by us, and embraced by visitors from near and far.
A special place
Geothermal water flows through this special place, bringing the valley to life with rare plant and birdlife, and creating a haven to relax and immerse yourself in nature.
The journey of our water starts at Te Manaroa Spring, the largest single source of boiling water in New Zealand. It flows continuously through the pools and out through the valley. The water you bathe in has been cooled, but not treated in any way, it's exactly as nature intended.
To share and protect
Waikite Valley Hot Pools and Campground has been a cornerstone of the community for over 50 years, and now attracts visitors from near and far.
As guardians of this unique environment, we honour our responsibility to protect and enhance this place, so it can be an oasis to wildlife, locals and visitors alike for years to come.
