About Taranaki Thermal Spa
Our History
The Tarawhata Hot Mineral Baths in Bonithon Avenue were exploited following their search for oil in New Plymouth. In 1909 the Bonithon Freehold Petroleum Company drilled a 3004 foot (1000m) hole near the Devon Intermediate School grounds.
They found no oil, but plenty of warm mineral water, which ran to waste until 1914 when J. Solomon, of New Plymouth, build a 25 metre by 12 metre bathhouse which was used as a public swimming pool, as well as several private baths, all of which were enclosed in the same concrete building.
These were popular with the public and in 1939 H. Reedman, an Egyptian herbalist, advertised the Tarawhata Mineral Baths as “the most modern in the Southern Hemisphere… which compare with the famous Kreusnach Tonic Springs in Prussia, credited with Miraculous Cures in cases of Rheumatism, Gout, Sciatica, Goitre and all Nervous Aliments as well as general Tonic for the System.”
In the mid 1960’s the baths were closed to the public but they continued to be used for several years by swimmers in training.
In 1999 this historical bathhouse was re-established.

β β β β β ! ! ! Think twice before u book with them.
Not like other spa pools, they don't give you extra time for taking shower. So if you book a private pool, that means u only get around 20 mins' pool time.
Once the time finished, they will drain the water suddenly without notify you or tell u before. That is really rude.
There is no plug for you to plug the hair dryer inside of the private room. So you have to walk out with wet hair, that caused me headache.

β β β β β Seems to be a very slick, well run operation. Was pleased to find a very good masseuse in Chenene, after losing my last one when Zen altered their offering, a few months ago.
Looking forward to my next visit

β β β β β Had the best experience ever! We chose the 'Renew Us' package which included the private pool, 30 min massage and sauna. The highlight was the massage, I had Kat who was absolutely amazing, she catered for all my needs (especially after a long hike) she hit all the right spots. We loved how cute the sauna room was, it was also private. Highly recommend this place and we will definitely go back!
