From Monday 8 July 2024, a portion of the Morrinsville river walk from Holmwood Park to Studholme Street. This will allow Kiwi Rail to carry out bridge maintenance work in the area and will take about 1 week to complete. Kiwi Rail will be operating heavy machinery during this time - so please avoid the area for the next week.
Mokena Geyser Access
This short walk, located between the spas and cafe, gives access to the Mokena Geyser (the only natural soda water geyser in the world). The Mokena bore currently produces 28,000 litres per day of water at between 75-85°C. It is named after the Māori chief, Mokena Te Hau, who once owned the Domain land. Main access to the geyser is up a steep path, however, the Mokena Geyser Access offers an alternative route that is paved and only slightly sloped making it ideal for people with physical disabilities, or parents with pushchairs. The thermal soda water is used in the nearby spa pools, which are a major tourist attraction. There is also a cafe by the southern entrance or plenty of areas in the domain to enjoy a picnic. If you'd like to more information on the Mokena Geyser and surrounding walks please check out the Te Aroha isite website.
