Hell’s Gate Mud Spa
As the temperature starts to drop, the steam rises higher at Hell’s Gate – New Zealand’s only mud spa complex situated within an active geothermal reserve.
Surrounded by native bush on the outskirts of Rotorua, Hell’s Gate really is a geothermal wonderland. Walk the trails, watch the earth bubble and boil, and witness steam billow into the sky. Around every corner, experience the raw power of Rūamoko, the God of earthquakes, volcanoes and seasons, as he heats the earth from below.
Not only does Hell’s Gate entertain, but it can also soothe your soul. Set amongst the geothermal reserve is the Hell’s Gate mud spa complex known the world over for its nutrient-rich mud and healing waters. Nowhere else in New Zealand can you bathe in silky smooth mud that rejuvenates your skin, soak in sulphur spas that relax your muscles, and watch the ever-changing geothermal landscape around you while taking in the sounds of falling water and native bird song.
For a limited time, Hell’s Gate are offering their mud and sulphur spas by twilight. So escape those cold winter nights and treat yourself to a truly unforgettable experience. Soak into the sunset and watch the stars as they begin to twinkle in the sky above, just as the local Māori
have been doing for centuries. Do not miss out on a Hell’s Gate TWILIGHT SPA™.
