Driving Instructions
Drive south on Highway (5) to Taupo. Drive south for (30ks) past Rainbow Mountain and Waiotapu. When you drive pass the Reporoa Dairy Factory on the right, look for the Reporoa turn (400m) on the left. Don’t blink, or you will miss the intersection in Reporoa (2.2Ks). Turn to the right. Drive south on Broadlands Rd. For (1.2Ks), look for a lamp post on the right hand side of the road with a sign pointing to the left. You should not miss this lamp post. It is very unusual to see one out in the middle of nowhere. The track to the pool is all gravel.
