Auntie Dawns and Hot Water Beach

Note people enjoy the hot pools at LOW tide

Hot Water Beach is a beautiful surf beach. At low tide (searchable through 2025), hot water bubbles up at a particular place in the sand and you dig yourself a "hot pool" to bathe in. When the water is too hot, take a swim in the Pacific!

Winter weather is unpredictable! You may find the reason NZ is nice and green - rain can fall; wind can blow & waves can get big! We have no control over nature!

[Note: Life-guards are on duty only during the peak (summer) season when swimming should be between the flags.�At ALL times, "the possibility of strong ocean currents" should be taken into account.]

 
Noted in Time magazine, Nov 2006, as one of four
" Global Discoveries - Ways to Relax"

"Auntie Dawn & Joe"�have enjoyed providing comfortable accommodation in�spacious apartments at Hot Water Beach since 1992.

Hot Springs are just�down the driveway�then 2 minute walk along the beach.

Tui

Our spacious apartments are� set in grounds with huge pohutukawa trees which are home to native pigeons, tuis and other birds. Swings for children to use are on these trees.
