Relax in the hot pools at the Wairakei Thermal Health Spa, a popular destination for generations of travellers.

Using water revered for its health benefits for hundreds of years, the Wairakei Thermal Health Spa offers guests the opportunity to relax in mineral enriched hot pools. Listen to the flow of a nearby stream and the calls of native birds while you sink into the healing waters at Wairakei.

Enriched with silica (which boosts the immune system and helps temper the aging process) and many other beneficial minerals, these waters have long attracted visitors for physical and spiritual rejuvenation.

In addition to the hot pools, the spa offers massage, a Maori cultural experience and an enchanting walkway around the Terraces.  A walk around the area will leave visitors with a sense of awe and an understanding of what attracted the local Maori to the land so many years ago.
