Wairakei Terraces

General Info

Bathe in mineral rich, hot thermal pools, at the bottom of silica terraces and feel the silky smoothness of the silica rich water across you skin. At Wairakei Terraces, our pools draw their healing properties from silica terraces and geothermal water flow from 1.5 kilometres underground. Embracing the natural qualities of the water, pools and surrounding bush, you’ll feel transported, rejuvenated and refreshed. We’re not just pools, we offer a treat for the senses. Along Te Kiri o Hinekai’ stream, you’ll hear native birdsong in harmony with the natural surrounds of cascading and flowing water, a gushing geyser and billowing steam. We offer a holistic approach that includes: hinengaro (mind), tinana (body) and wairua (spirit). Our wellness packages bring together, the best Wairakei Terraces have to offer – from adult only pools, to mirimiri (massage) and guided walking tours amongst native bush.
