About

About The Host

Wai-Ariki Hot Springs & Spa

Wai-Ariki Hot Springs & Spa

We honour our tūpuna (ancestors) who walked this whenua (land) long before us by weaving cultural story infusion into our spa experiences, passed down through generations. Rooted in the centuries-old practices of Ngāti Whakaue, we embrace and share the healing waters and techniques with our visitors, combining these sacred traditions with the restorative properties of nature to create a unique journey of wellbeing, connection and renewal.

Wai Ariki Hot Springs and Spa is grounded in te ao Māori (Māori worldview) and Ngāti Whakaue healing practices. This unique spa and wellness experience offers authentic manaakitanga – the centuries-old and internationally-renowned concept of welcoming and caring for manuhiri (visitors).
