State Highway 30, Tikitere, 10km north of Rotorua
Kia Ora and Welcome to Hell Gate, the BEAST of geothermal parks in Rotorua.
Rotorua’s first destination spa, Hells Gate has been known as a place of healing and wellbeing for more than 800 years. Its many hot springs laden with minerals, combined with the “silky” smooth geothermal mud from its geothermal activity creates a unique New Zealand spa experience. Let the hot spring sulphurous waters of the “Hurutini” pool, name after a Maori “Princess” wash away the cares of the world after luxuriating in a geothermal mud bath while overseeing the amazing steaming geothermal activity from the hot springs of Hellsgate.

Hells Gate is located approximately 15-20 minutes from Rotorua City centre on Te Ngae Road (SH30). It is close to the airport which is the gateway to the Bay of Plenty region for international and domestic visitors alike. Head north on State Highway 30 past the Rotorua Airport. Turn right from Highway 30 to go to Whakatane. Travel another 3km and Hells Gate is located on the left side corner. It has close proximity to Wai Ora Lakeside Spa Resort. [Jade Perez, Hells Gate]
