New Zealand: Geothermal Spa Planned at Waiariki Hot Springs

$30m luxury spa centre planned for Rotorua lakefront (NZ Herald)

A multi-million dollar luxury spa and wellness centre is being developed on Rotorua's lakefront, offering holistic wellbeing treatments with a Te Ao Maori focus.

Stakeholders are promising the Wai Ariki Hot Springs and Spa will boost the local economy by tens of millions of dollars a year as well as creating dozens of new jobs for Rotorua residents.

The centre, which will sit on land previously leased to Rotorua hospital and hospice, will be about the size of a Mitre 10, will cost about $30 million to build, and is due to be completed by the end of 2019.

Preliminary earthworks will start later this year.
