In the 1890s, Te Aroha was a flourishing spa town, patronised by the
elite of Victorian society. While the ladies and gentlemen of
that era have long since gone, the gracious buildings remain in the
gardens of Te Aroha Domain. The town's museum is
housed in one of the historic buildings. Soaking in the thermal
waters drawn from the nearby Mokena geyser is still a major reason for
visiting. Rising above the domain is bushclad Mount Te
Aroha. A number of bushwalks depart from the domain, one of which
leads to the summit. For mountainbikers there is an all-weather
track running through the hills overlooking the town.
