Mōrere Hot Springs

Description

The Mōrere Hot Springs are a rare example of natural salt water hot springs. They produce 250,000 L per day of hot, mineral-rich sea water, which has long been sought after for its therapeutic and curative properties.

The water emerges from a fractured fault that crosses the Mangakawa valley, 300 metres upstream from the Nikau Pools and is piped to a variety of public and private pools set amongst native rain forest.

Pool options

There are three pool options:

• private
• large open, and
• Nikau pools with a variety of temperatures.

There is also a large cold pool supplied by water from the stream which is perfect for hot summer days after a bush walk.
