Description

A little tricky to find but worth it! Past the nudist colony, there is a dirt road off to the left, park and walk down. If the main spot is too cold, follow the little track over above the spring and there is another, hotter pool about 15 metres along. Move downstream until you can bear it! [Aran Pudney, NZ]


Directions

Accessible by boat, on the edge of Lake Ohakuri. [anon, NZ]

Pool is also accessible off Te Kopia rd about 500 - 1000m down a dirt track on the left after the first Fontera dairy number on that road. (from Tutukau rd end) [Jeff, Reporoa NZ]

  1. One of New Zealands best hidden secrets. I have been visiting this place for 20 years & never get tired. (NB: If you do take some cold beers into enjoy whilst lying in the beautiful water, play your part & remove your empties when leaving).

  2. Dirt track just Nudist Club now has a big locked gate & "No trespassing" sign. There is another dirt road off to the left further along but no room to park your car, I don't know where it leads to.

  3. Note- 'Paradise' is NOT the same venue as the Akatarewa stream. Access is by boat and road. A culvert empties hot water into a secluded section of the waikato river (Lake Ohakuri) so there are hot/cold areas to bathe in. Please respect the area and its public users by removing your used items and do not bring glass bottles!

  5. A lovely spot, but spoilt by the people who come over in their boats and lounge around in the water getting tanked. Rotota Sun Club is just around the corner, and accordingly it's a great place to swim nude, as members from the club often swim here as well.
