Travel Guide

Waimangu's steaming landscape
Waimangu's steaming landscape
A nice view of the NZ geothermical activity.
The margins of Waimangu Stream from Frying Pan Lake to east of Inferno Crater are covered with delicate silica formations and colourful mineral deposits containing traces of arsenic, molybdenum, antimony, and tungsten, while the stream bed is home to blue-green algae and filamentous colonies of the photosynthetic bacterium Chloroflexus aurantiacus in a range of colours from bright green to orange. In the midst of this area is the picturesque Bird's Nest Terrace, a delicate silica terrace with the small volcano-shaped Bird's Nest Spring atop continuously erupting near boiling-hot water about 1 metre (3 ft) high.
At Waimangu there is something for everyone to enjoy.

Norrie in the Club lounge is an absolute treasure. He was extraordinarily hospitable and kind and thoughtful. Every staff member we encountered was great but Norrie really should be commended.

Felt that for the price the room was very dated, and an extremely soft bed didn't allow a good sleep. Breakfast was nice.
