Ngawha hot pools offer a variety of mud pools to soothe away your worries. From boiling hot to tepid, theres a pool for everyone. The muddy sediment on the bottom should be rubbed on your body (don’t be scared) and left to dry for a natural body mask. If you’re heading north, Ngawha, just out of Kaikohe, is a must visit. Best enjoyed at dawn and twilight. [Garrick, Auckland, NZ]
