Hells Gate WaiOra Spa is New Zealand's only 'mud bath' complex, and uses 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.   There are three mud baths in the WaiOra ("Healthy waters") Spa centre - one family and two three-person baths each containing in excess of 100kgs of the finest geothermal muds in both suspended and solid form. The silky mud is smoothed over the skin leaving it very clean and soft to touch.  After taking the mud bath, visitors can then go into the "North Island" shaped sulphur water spa with its own hot water fall to relax and revitalize.  The environment and atmosphere in the New Zealand WaiOra Spa and Wellness Centre is such that; along with the quality facilities for the Traditional WaiOra massage and private lounge; a totally, uniquely New Zealand Spa Experience that is unsurpassed has been created.

New Zealand consists of the two main North and South islands and a number of smaller ones: 
North Island - warm, with scenery ranging from sandy beaches, through rolling farmland and forests to active volcanic peaks
South Island - spectacular mountains and fjords, large beech forests, beautiful beaches
Stewart Island - heavily forested, a wilderness paradise for trampers with wonderful bird song, and the only place to a see a sun-bathing (feathered) kiwi on Masons Beach!
Chatham Islands  - two main islands and a number of rocky outcrops. The islands are volcanic in origin and have a unique and sensitive habitat that supports many rare and endangered species
Sub-Antarctic Islands - very difficult to get to unless you're on a scientific expedition or deep sea fishing vessel
