About Waikite Valley Hot Pools

In 1969 the local community put a proposal to the County Council of Rotorua to build a hot thermal pool. Permission was subsequently granted, and after various fundraising efforts and approximately 4000 hours of voluntary labour, the pool complex was officially opened in 1972.

Today, the Waikite Valley Hot Pools are administered by the Rotorua Lakes council and run by The Living Waters of Waikite Valley Ltd under a lease agreement.

The Living Waters of Waikite Valley Ltd have, over the past 25 years, developed the complex in so far that today it offers visitors 6 outdoor bathing options, private pools,camping facilities and viewing access to the Te Manaroa Spring.

We are a family run business, and our team are an extension of our family. We work hard to provide an awesome experience for our guests, and to protect our little piece of paradise.

We are open 7 days a week until 8.30pm, so most roles require the flexibility to work evenings and weekends. We work as a team and get stuck into all kinds of tasks to make sure we’re at the top of our game.
