Te Aroha Mineral Baths NZ

Te Aroha Mineral Baths in the Waikato town of Te Aroha occupies a uniquely historic hot spring domain on the banks of the Waihou River, home to the world's only known hot soda-water geyser — the Mokena Geyser — which erupts naturally approximately once per hour. The spa's private soaking pools, housed in original Victorian wooden bath houses within a classified Edwardian Domain, offer an intimate and utterly distinctive bathing experience that preserves the atmosphere of late 19th-century New Zealand spa culture at its most authentic. Mount Te Aroha, rising above the town, provides forest hiking trails through native bush to summit viewpoints. A quietly wonderful thermal destination for those seeking an unhurried and historically evocative New Zealand experience.
