Rotorua's hot pool, sauna, steam and  water experience unique to New Zealand

Welcome to Rotorua's hot pool, sauna, steam and water experience unique to New Zealand -WAI ORA SPA WATER EXPERIENCE  at.Wai Ora Lakeside Spa Resort home to Rotorua's Day Spa -the award winning Wai Ora Spa. Wai Ora literally translated as "Healing Waters" underpins the central importance that Maori placed on water and in particular the place of geothermal hot pools and water as a means of wellbeing in the Rotorua District. For hundreds of years local Maori have sought our the special "healing" qualities of the geothermal waters at Hellsgate Geothermal Reserve - a legacy on which the Wai Ora Spa Water Experience at Wai Ora Lakeside Spa Resort is based.

The Wai Ora Spa Water Experience  is made up of hot spa pools and a hot mineral pool located beside a clear spring feed fast flowing trout spawning stream all set in beautiful landscaped grounds. The soothing noise of water running over and around rocks coupled with the bird song from the surrounding native trees both relaxes the body and invigorates the soul. Following the cultural wellbeing traditions of the Maori, the steam room and Kawa Kawa infused steam sauna are a modern expression of those healing teacakes perfected over the centuries. How much time guest spent enjoying the Wai Ora Water Experience is up to the individual guests who can supplement the experience with spa platters and favorite beverages served on site by our staff who relish the opportunity to host the "Wai Ora Way".

All guest staying at the accommodation of the Wai Ora Lakeside Spa Resort enjoy full access to the Wai Ora Spa Water Experience facilities as well as the cold swimming pool over looking Lake Rotorua and its associated hot spa pool.
