Innovative Waste Kaikoura in Kaikoura

The dump, a place of treasures... Kaikoura realizes this and employs a crew of people sorting, recovering, and even operating a store. see it for yourself.

river hot spot in Tauhara

Natural hot springs are god's gift to eco-hot tub lovers. This one doubles the fun by dumping into the cold waikato river.

Arthur's Pass Wilderness Lodge in Cass

If you like tramping in style, you'll love this place. Also a working sheep farm, I got to hold a friendly lamb :)

Kawakawa Public Toilet in Kawakawa

Designed by Friedensreich Hundertwasser, and featuring salvaged tiles, glass bottles and a living roof, this is the best public bathroom I've ever used!

Poor Knights Islands

Look but DONT TOUCH! These islands are for birds only, but theres magic under the water. Jump In!

Hot Water Beach in Hot Water Beach

beachfront hot tubs made of a local materials and powered by geothermal energy. bring your own shovel - you build them yourself!

Miranda Hot Springs, Waikato 3576 in Mangatarata

Ha this place totally looks like an old school public pool, but its all heated geothermically, and almost puts Miranda on the map.

I love Miranda Springs, I went there many years ago when I was like 15. It was my first hot springs experience and probably the best!
