Rotorua's Waikite Valley Thermal Pools is a natural thermal bathing complex. Water for the pools comes straight out of the Te Manaroa natural boiling spring, and is then cooled before entering (and exiting) the pools. This 100% natural thermal water is not treated with any chemicals whatsoever nor is it filtered or recycled back into the pools. The ‘Living Waters’ of Waikite Valley is the only thermal pool complex of this size in New Zealand using only 100% pure natural geothermal water. Given the nature of the water we recommend that you keep your head above water when swimming. Indulge in the soft calcite-laden mineral water in temperatures of 30-40°Celsius seducing you into a total state of relaxation. Closed Christmas Day and Boxing Day 10.30am till 8.00pm ( last entry 7pm)
