One of the most unique things to do in the Coromandel.
As you emerge through the native bush, the interplay of dancing light and rising steam invites you to explore and find a place to unwind. With water temperatures ranging from 32°C to 41°C and pools no deeper than chest height, there’s a perfect spot for everyone.
The mineral-rich, Geo-Thermal water of The Lost Spring is truly unique. Rising from 667m below the surface through a small crack in the bedrock, the water emerges completely sterile - fossilized after 16,000 years below ground. It’s such a rare & delicate water source, that for several generations it was considered lost until The Lost Spring founder Alan Hopping finally rediscovered it in 1989.
The Pool Combo gives you the chance to explore our unique Coromandel Geo-Thermal Pools, a delicious platter and a cocktail either poolside or in our restaurant. Available as a ninety-minute short stay combo, this is an absolute favourite.

The Lost Spring is returning magic to the lives of many and we are driven by a commitment to excellence.
After years of tenaciously searching before finally striking the water source, The Lost Spring was sculpted by the hands and vision of founder Alan Hopping. Alan’s unique personality and love of the Coromandel region are reflected in everything; from the swim-in crystal cave to the lush native bush throughout The Lost Spring.
The story of The Lost Spring and Alan's relentless pursuit of his dream of re-discovering the once-lost water source is a history that we cherish. Our heritage is woven into the fabric of The Lost Spring and makes it all the more rewarding for us to share this magical place with visitors. Alan now runs The Lost Spring alongside his daughter, Alanna, who grew up in Whitianga.
The Lost Spring, beautifully located on the Coromandel Peninsula is a truly unique NZ experience.
Well worth going. A hidden treasure in Whitianga, and highly recommended. Great place for couples with hot springs, cocktails and meals.
Fabulous place, very relaxing and enjoyed the pina colada by the pool, topped off with a couples massage.
I had a most enjoyable time having a swim and then a body massage as well as a platter of delicious food and a cocktail
