Slightly querky, we stayed here for only one night in our Motorhome. I did feel like the walk should of been free for fee paying guests of the camp ground, and we were surprised to be asked for $20 to walk around the Thermal Garden area, (if you go to a campground with a swimming pool you not charged any...

After we arrived here the entrance price was rather stiff, so we looked at the (best) pictures from the park that were posted in the pub. Than we decided that it was even less worth to pay an entrance price. The recently sheered LLama with only hairs on its head was funny, though.

There is no indication of pricing anywhere, perhaps they make it up when you arrive. I was charged $10 for one adult. The cafe owner offered to lend me a thermo-reading device so I could see how hot the water was, but alas there is only one and it was already taken. The walk is unsuitable for anyone with balance...

The way the world was 'before' man, nature at her best Do the walk, savour the whenua taking time to Step Back

This thermal valley used to be full of amazing geysers, check out the pictures in the cafe! As you do the walk, imagine how it used to look, and marvel at the change that can occur. Wairakei geothermal plant is just next door...and the geysers started to die right when they started testing wells there (they didn't know the effects... More
