Kia ora & welcome to New Zealand's only 'mud bath' complex using some of the finest muds in the world.
Long before the 1840's when Europeans found and described the medicinal properties of Tikitere as having 'quite remarkable curative properties', Maori warriors returning from battle bathed to salve their wounds.
Now you too can take the waters and experience the unique muds in the new spa and New Zealand's only mud bath complex.
Hell's Gate is the most active geothermal field in the Rotorua area.
Hell's Gate WaiOra Spa at Tikitere, Rotorua has been known and treasured by the local Maori people as a place of healing and revitalising. Its special waters and muds have been looked after for centuries by the Kaitiaki (Guardian) Warrior 'WaiOra' after whom the spa is named.
Join those who have experienced the health-giving waters and muds of Hell's Gate WaiOra Spa, New Zealand's only mud bath spa complex, traditionally Maori-themed and set in this very active thermal reserve.
