Mōrere Hot Springs
3968 State Highway 2, Mōrere
A treat not to be missed – gorgeous hot and cold springs set amid 364 hectares of rain forest. Rare in the world of hot springs, the Mōrere Springs produce 250,000 litres a day of hot ancient sea water. Known for its therapeutic values, the water is piped to a series of public and private hot pools.
Mōrere Hot Springs is located 40km north-east of Wairoa, 52km south of Gisborne and 15km north of Nuhaka.
It is definitely worth taking a walk on any of the various walks in the Mōrere Scenic Reserve, from 10-minute walks up to three hours. Especially famous for its nikau palms, the dense virgin rain forest is home to a wide range of native birds.
Visitors are also encouraged to extend your trip to the area, and stay across the road at the very welcoming Mōrere Lodge.
