With Waitangi Day only a day away it’s timely to reflect on the history of this country and it’s communities. If you have an interest in Edwardian architecture and/or history then the historic Te Aroha Domain, nestled at the bottom of sacred Mt Te Aroha, is the place to fill your boots - so to speak.

Come and enjoy the renowned Te Aroha Mineral Spas, Te Aroha & Districts Museum and the other activities based in the Domain. There are also a number of walks that start from there. Or simply relax under a tree with a picnic, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings while you reflect on the past.

After you’ve descended from the summit of a mountain, it seems just reward to soak in a hot pool at the bottom of said mountain.

There aren’t many places you can do that. In fact, if you want to soak in hot soda mineral water then Te Aroha is the only place in the world you can do that! If you haven’t experienced the amazing Mt Te Aroha summit and Te Aroha Mineral Spas yet, then add them to the top of your bucket list.

When storing unwanted items becomes a work of art in their own right.

At Adrian Worsley’s gallery in Te Aroha, you’ll not only be amazed at the sculptures he creates from scrap metal, but also the displays that’ve grown from items that might come in handy one day.

This guy’s a talented artist to say the least and hosts group tours of his gallery on certain days of the week. Get a booking in your calendar - you’ll never look at scrap metal the same way again 😊

“It’s no bad thing to celebrate a simple life” - J.R.R. Tolkien

Escape into the magical world of Middle-earth. Meander past Hobbit Holes, the Mill and into the Green Dragon Inn where you can enjoy a quiet ale as you reflect on the legacy J.R.R. Tolkien has left all of us.

That moment when you realise you’re a tiny part of something so much bigger. Where forces so much greater than you have literally moved mountains and created rivers.

Ground yourself in nature.
