Stop and soak in the Morere Hot Springs a relaxing bathing and spa facility set in 364 Hectares of native bush. Morere Hot Springs Scenic Reserve is known for its stands of Nikau Palms and wide variety of birdlife. A beautiful natural environment giving a great wilderness experience on the walking tracks. Walks range from an easy 20 minute walk on the Nikau Loop Track to the more challenging 2 ½ hour walks like the Ridge Track or the Mangakawa Track (experienced trampers only should walk the Mangakawa). The high rainfall, a mild climate and fertile mudstone spoils have created an environment for a notable area of rainforest. A hotel featuring an International Spa Resort with gardens was once on-site but was destroyed by fire in 1994. Just across the road you will find the entrance to Morere Lodge & Holiday Park and Smokey Bros BBQ Cafe. A popular day out for local people and a good base for travellers wishing to explore the surrounding area.

The hub of community life in the small rural village of Nuhaka are the marae, in particular the magnificent Kahungunu Marae with its elaborately carved meeting house (Ph 06-837 8539). The rich agricultural lands of the Nuhaka river flats, surrounded on three sides by a bowl of protective hills, exist in a natural microclimate, less prone to frosts than the surrounding districts, and are an ideal setting for continued and varied horticultural development. The Historic Nuhaka General Store is well worth visiting. Find it at the turn off to Mahia – left or Wairoa – right.
