What you should know about Morere Hot Springs
Morere Hot Springs thermal area with its rainforest reserve is steeped in history from the time of the Maori through to the European colonising years and later as New Zealand embraced the motor car and began to explore and travel the land. In the early colonial period around 1895 the Lands and Survey Department gazetted the Nuhaka Thermal Springs Reserve under the Land Act of 1892. Renamed the Morere Springs Scenic Reserve, it has been istered by the Department of Conservation since 1987. These reserves were most often created at places of scenic or historic interest.
The first permanent caretaker of the hot springs was Ned Kennedy, appointed in 1923, who lived with his wife in a tent for two years until a cottage was built. Prior to the 1930s, when hot water was piped down the Mangakawa Valley to a series of pools closer to the road, bath houses were built over the hot water outlets along the Mangakawa Stream. The highest, No. 2 was replaced in 1982 by what are now called the Nikau Pools. For many years the Morere Hot Springs Scenic Reserve was istered by the Tourism and Publicity Department before being taken over by the Lands and Survey Department in 1971 and subsequently by the Department of Conservation.
This scenic reserve with its hot mineral spas, is under Government control and is the Mecca of hundreds of people during holiday periods. The path now follows the course of a mountain stream whose cool, clear waters, originating high up in the bush, flow over a rocky bed, through fern lined banks, on its way to join a tributary of the Nuhaka river. These bath houses are spaced at a distance of about 150 yards, and are used principally by invalids. Leaving this bath the climb becomes slightly steeper this, however, does not distract one’s attention from the surrounding beauty.
Here, one gazes into a deep, bush lined chasm, over the brink of which plunges a small though picturesque waterfall. Leaving the bathhouse one turns off the path at a place marked with the sign, To the Palm Grove. Actually this track leads through several palm groves and into the very heart of the bush
