my rating of 10 is because of its memories for me. my father, mother, sister and i went there in the 1950s. it was off the road along a bush track and such a beautiful place back then. it was so hot my father and sister couldn't get in. i managed for a bit but my mother was floating around, luxuriating, and came out like a lobster. such wonderful memories. i'm so glad it's being restored. best wishes to the research and restoration teams.

I used to visit this pool in the 1950s as a kid and in the 1960s as a teenager.Wonderful memories.It was no more than a big concrete pool with a natural hot stream in. It still exists but out of bounds. It is now part of the wairakei terraces tourist park

Please watch this space, the (Honeymoon Pool) has been restored but it is not for public bathing. However hot thermal pools have been created down stream from here and once again the hot thermal water that flowed many years ago and healed many a body and heart, will be available for public bathing (for 14 years and over). our website is being completed this week, email me next week for the site address, Arohanui

A team from the Wairakei Primary School investigated the history in 2003. They have made a great report - Read it here. I recall the same as Denise in 1964! Hi Denise!

If its the one I visited many times as a wild teenager (and the location looks spot on) in 1964, called the Honeymoon back then, it was accessed through a track at the rear of a motor camp. Someone had dammed it at the top and about 20 feet below, with the really hot water cascading over each rim. It wasnt wide, about 15 feet and there was brush and trees all around. We usually went at night, when the frost and snow were all around and it was magic - probably the cans of beer we floated down from the top of the stream added to the 'magic'. I remember the water was so hot the cans of beer (unopened) actually sank. Yes, we wore togs and I have amazing memories of those years until it was closed down - probably because of people like us! My boyfriend's parents had a holiday home at Taupo and he knew all the 'private' pools like this. I did hear recently it had been reopened but I have been living abroad for about 30 years and havent followed it up as to what it is now.
