Hot and Cold Streams

Soak in a natural hot pool, then enjoy a cold plunge in the adjacent stream. Or stand where the waters meet for the unmixed bath water experience.

Hot and cold streams at Waiotapu are an experience not to be missed. A few hundred metres from the main highway, the geothermal stream features man-made rock walls, creating small hot pools flanked by tree ferns and manuka.

This gem is not only scenic, it's also free.

Hot pool fiend, check out Kerosine Creek and Butcher Pools while in the area.
