Episode Details

Waiwera Thermal Springs is roaring back to life with a $100 million restoration project set to open by mid-2028, featuring 28 geothermal pools, saunas, native bush trails, and wellness zones — all designed for both adults and families. After years of decay and demolition, developers Brandon Batagol and Craig Mitchell are reviving this iconic Auckland landmark with eco-conscious design, community engagement, and ambitious economic goals: 310K annual visitors, 87 jobs, and up to $300M in regional growth within seven years. Construction kicks off in 2027 — and this isn’t just about building again, it’s about reconnecting with nature and restoring a beloved piece of New Zealand’s heritage.
