FAQs:

What is the difference between the Twilight Spa™ & general Hell’s Gate Mud Bath & Spas?

The Twilight Spa™ is our winter special offer, which allows our customers to experience unique geothermal mud and waters under the stars – a relaxing and magical escape into nature.  Just like our Hell’s Gate Mud Bath & Spas, this experience is hosted in our communal bathing facility, with a few added extras. 

What are the health benefits of our Hell’s Gate mud and water?

The mineral-enriched geothermal mud contains a variety of minerals and trace elements that offer numerous health benefits. The mud has a detoxifying and purifying action on the skin, absorbing excess oils and fatty secretions from within the pores, leaving you feeling soft, smooth, and rejuvenated. Additionally, the mud has bactericidal properties through its sulphur content, which kills bacteria and assists in the prevention and elimination of acne. The strong affinity of the mud to moisture in the skin also promotes the regeneration of skin cells. By choosing to bathe in our mud spa, you'll be indulging in an ancient healing tradition that has been treasured by the Māori for over 500 years and has been scientifically proven to have numerous health benefits.

Do I need to book?

We recommend that you book your experiences in advance to avoid disappointment. You can book by telephone, using our website, or by contacting us via email at info@hellsgate.co.nz.

What if it is raining?

The mud bath and sulphur spas are outside but have shade covers which makes bathing in the rain no problem!  Hell’s Gate offers the perfect place for rainy day activities in Rotorua.  Warm up in the mud bath and sulphur spas as you watch the reserve come to life with steam.
