Our Unique Water Source
The ancient Geo-Thermal spring, situated 667 meters beneath The Lost Spring's Coromandel Peninsula property, fills the beautifully hand-sculpted pools with 16,000 year-old, naturally heated spring waters. These ancient waters have been tested and found to be highly mineralized and have a 7.4 pH level.
The Lost Spring's truly therapeutic, 100% pure mineral water will leave your skin feeling soft and nourished. The natural heat will soak away the stress of the real world, giving gentle rejuvenation of the body, mind and soul.
The Lost Spring’s Geo-Thermal pools range in temperature from 32°C to a warm 41°C (89°F - 104°F), so you can choose your ideal heat for pure relaxation. A small amount of chlorine is used at the minimal levels required by law, and a strict cleaning regime is followed daily to ensure the TLS thermal pools are kept to optimum cleanliness at all times.Our natural hot spring waters flow continuously through our pools before being returned to below ground.
Our Philosophy & Founder; Alan Hopping
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. That's why we're rated as the Number 1 thing to do in Whitianga on Tripadvisor, and 2nd place for all of the things to do in the Coromandel Region.
Our Historic School House Building
