      Te Puia Springs is interesting because
      of the thermal activity. Partly on account
      of  the  springs,  which  were  considered
      medicinal, a hospital was built early last
      century.  After being modernised several
      times it is now a general purpose hospital
      administered  by  the  Ngāti  Porou  Health
      arm.  The small but attractive settlement
      has a  Visitor  Information  Centre, the
      well-stocked  Te Puia  Springs  Store,
      catering for your every need, with clean
      public toilets next door, or why not stay
      a while at the newly renovated  Te Puia
      Springs Hotel. Just north there is also a
      pleasant golf course.  An interesting area
      worth more than a passing glance.       An old AA Road Sign
