This place was interesting. If you've never seen geothermal activity before it's super interesting. Huge area that takes about an hour to walk. I still liked wai-o-tupo "better", if I had to pick one... But they both are very different and it was pretty cool to see all the bubbling mud. And if your already there to soak in the mud and use the spa, checking out the grounds in a no brainer
This place is awesome! Hells Gate mud pools an Sulphur baths. A really great relaxing day just covering yourself in mud and then relaxing in the hot pools after. Just remember to take your sun glasses and don't get the mud in your eye!!

Chris is an amazing host. He is a very warmhearted and kind man. One of the highlights was that he let us feet his sheep and his goat. We loved our stay!
