Testimonies handed down through the years by affluent and noble men and women who came to ‘take the waters’ conveyed how one would feel revitalised and rejuvenated. Maori who settled here around 1000 years ago believed the waters contained healing powers and qualities that aided the treatment of skin diseases and brought relief to people suffering arthritic and rheumatic ailments.
The Wairakei Terraces and Thermal Health Spa have recreated a series of hot thermal pools which have been strategically positioned below silica terraces to take full advantage of the mineral enriched water that has been drawn to the earth’s surface from 1.5 km’s underground providing a ‘feel back in time’ sensation and an ideal setting for anyone wanting to indulge in something unique.
The Wairakei Terraces and Thermal Health Spa is located on the Thermal Explorer Highway; it borders the Wairakei steam field, across the road from the Wairakei Resort Hotel and next to the BP petrol station.
