These must rate as Rotorua's best kept secret! About 20 minutes south of Rotorua turn right and travel 6kms to the softest, cleanest and cheapest mineral baths in the area. It is such a breath of fresh air to get away from the other Rotorua prices which are clearly aimed at the US$, Japanese Yen and GBP. $20 for the family and we spent a good couple of hours relaxing in the warm "oily" water.
Previously there were two pools, last week they opened the third one which is a very natural pool - they were originally the changing rooms!
It was a lovely day and Ross and I even got burnt! The water comes from a boiling spring a short distance away which is pumped out of the river and then cooled before draining into one of the three pools.
