Waiwera Hot Springs is a hot springs system located in the small coastal village of Waiwera, just north of Auckland, New Zealand. They were known to the Māori people for centuries before being developed. In the 1960s and 70s overproduction and overpumping of the geothermal aquifer led to significant loss of pressure and desiccation of the springs in the late 1970s. A decade later the thermal springs began to recover, although the system has not returned to the former artesian conditions.
The springs were developed into a commercial establishment, the Waiwera Hot Pools. The springs were operated as a large thermal spa and water park branded as Waiwera Infinity Thermal Spa Resort at the time of closure in 2018. The park had been New Zealand's largest water park.
