Hell's Gate is the only place in New Zealand where you can relax in an outdoor mud bath, used for generations by Maori to ease joint and muscle pain. Get down in a mud bath or unwind in a sulphur spa overlooking a spectacular landscape, before plunging into a beautiful spring-fed waterfall. As the temperature begins to drop, Hell's Gate is offering the ultimate winter indulgence.
The Hell's Gate reserve features three types of therapeutic thermal mud:
· Black Mud – used in the treatment of arthritis and rheumatism,
· White Mud – used for the relief of burns,
· Grey Mud – used to gently exfoliate the skin.
Hell's Gate also features the largest mud volcano in the country as well as the largest hot waterfall in the Southern Hemisphere.
