Wairoa township acts as the vital hub for a huge district. This includes Mahia with a number of beautiful beaches and peaceful holiday homes. A natural playground for people who like to surf, fish, kayak or swim. The Scenic Reserve and Mineral pools at Morere Hot Springs are one of the areas “must do” activities. Visitors can enjoy the hot and cold pools and a great wilderness of walking tracks. The Morere Hot Springs are set on 364 hectares of native bush reserve. Pre-European and Māori spoke of the healing qualities of the water at the springs.
