Te Puia Springs

Te Puia Springs, Thermal spring in Ōtorohanga District, New Zealand

Te Puia Springs is a spring in the Auckland region of New Zealand's North Island, about 400 km northeast of Wellington and 5 km west of Kawhia. The surrounding land is mostly flat, rising to hills to the south, with the sea nearby to the south and southwest. The area is sparsely populated, with fewer than two people per square kilometre.

Te Puia Springs lies about 5 km east of Kawhia on the North Island's west coast, in a landscape of mostly flat land rising to hills to the south. The springs are recorded as a geothermal feature of the Auckland region, roughly 400 km north of Wellington, in a sparsely populated area of fewer than two people per square kilometre.

Te Puia means "the spring" in Māori, and the name is shared with the settlement beside Kawhia Harbour, about 5 km to the east. The springs sit in a coastal district where fewer than two people live per square kilometre, so the pools are passed mainly by local traffic on the road between Kawhia and the surrounding farmland.

The springs can be reached by walking paths with established viewing points to safely observe the geothermal activity. Wear waterproof clothing since the coastal setting can bring sudden weather changes.

The springs sit about 5 km east of Kawhia, and the surrounding area is sparsely populated, with fewer than two people per square kilometre. The land around them is mostly flat, rising to hills about 273 m high roughly 8 km to the south, and the sea is the nearest coast.
