Sightseeing

The hot pools are an amazing natural 'wonder' and can soak your weary bones after a long walk (Tongariro crossing?) or long travels. It is also the start to the Huka Falls walk (45min. one way)

Good Mountain biking + you can get a good few of the natural steam coming up. Also possible to do a 1 hour walk here or to go for a horse riding trip.
