The hot springs have reopened with normal hours resuming on 16 December 2024. View a media release about the reopening.
Mōrere Hot Springs is reawakened “Nga Hua o Mōrere” to recognise the new era and the joint leadership between Rongomaiwahine, Rakaipaaka and DOC.
Nga Hua o Mōrere are a rare example of natural salt water hot springs. They produce 250,000 L per day of hot, mineral-rich sea water, which has long been sought after for its therapeutic and curative properties.
The water emerges from a fractured fault that crosses the Mangakawa valley, 300 metres upstream from the Nikau Pools and is piped to a variety of public and private pools set amongst native rain forest.
Mōrere Springs Scenic Reserve is on SH2, 40 km north-east of Wairoa, 52 km south of Gisborne and 15 km north of Nuhaka.
