Waikite Valley Thermal Pools

Waikite Valley Thermal Pools

Waikite Valley Thermal Pools is a unique place to come and experience the ‘Living Waters’ of the Te Manaroa Spring - the largest single source of 100% pure boiling water in New Zealand. These pure spring waters cascade into our main splash pool (35-38C) and adjoining toddlers beach area as well as the sit and soak pool (38-40C) and our luxurious tranquil garden pool. 


Our spacious heated changing rooms, with toilets and high pressure hot showers, are family-friendly and also offer wheelchair access.


Enjoy nature’s ambience in one of our private spas. Control the temperature of your individual private pool, which looks out onto Waikite Valley, native bush and surrounding geothermal activity.


We also have an informative Eco-Trail of both geological and botanical interest. This educational walk leds to the spectacular Te Manaroa Spring. Along the way learn about ferns and mosses that are unique to just a few geothermal areas in the southern Rotorua area. 


After enjoying our unique waters and exploring the Eco-Trail, relax with an ice cream, snack, hot or cold drink, or casual meal from the ‘Pukeko in a Ponga Tree’ Cafe. The cafe has a spacious covered outdoor seating area that looks out over the pools and the valley beyond.


Adjoining the pool complex is a 20 site campground with shower, laundry and kitchen facilities. Being handy to other attractions in the area means Waikate Vallet Thermal Pools and Campground is the ideal spot for those passing through traveling by van, motorhome or tenting.


To enhance your bathing experience, all pools at Waikite Valley Thermal Pools are drained and refilled every night. You won't find bathing water this pure anywhere else in New Zealand!
