Waikite Valley Hot Pools

This is such a hidden gem! The pools are immaculate, beautifully designed and well maintained. The nature surrounding the pools makes it so relaxing and the views are stunning !

The waiketi Valley live water hot spring is especially worth going. There are steps to let us see the water at a temperature of 98 to 100 degrees from the mountain. Finally, it flows into the hot springs we soaked. The water is rich in various minerals. After the soaking, the skin is super smooth and comfortable. Children also love to play in different pools and swim in the big pool. Stone pool meditation, soak pool soup, blush, super cute.

Last visit was 4 years ago and knowing it was pleasant and relaxing, the pool wasn’t overcrowded, we decided to visit again. We drove over from Papamoa Beach, an hour and a half drive, well worth it. It was busier than our last visit, and it was perfect even for the summer Easter time when it was not very crowded. We tend to keep the main pool as we have daughters aged 7 and 10, although they can also go to other pools with adults, they feel too hot and don’t like this relaxing way, I let them keep quiet so others can relax! For me, the moment I stepped in was very relaxing, the charming pool, and a great ecological walkway, and after that, the kids found it interesting.

It is worth going, especially worth bringing children and the elderly.

In the mountains, next to the geothermal outlet, unlike Polynesia, there are many tourists, the price is good, it is worth a visit.
