Complete your bathing journey in Wai Whakaoho, a tranquil hydrotherapy pool featuring gentle massage jets, waterfall showers, and relaxation loungers designed to ease tension and encourage deep relaxation.

Conclude your visit with a final blessing at Te Ngao (blessing stone), completing a unique fusion of geothermal wellness, Māori culture, and luxury relaxation.
