Lake Rotoiti Hot Pools

🎣 WHAT A GREAT WEEKEND FOR OUR YOUNG FISHERS! 🎣

That’s a wrap on our 2026 Lake Rotoiti Hot Pools Kids Fishing Comp — and what a great turnout we had!

We had 22 keen young anglers take part this year, with 10 fish making it to the weigh-in. 🐟👏

🏆 A huge congratulations to Max Wingate, who took out the comp with an impressive 4.04 lb catch! Well done Max — your name now gets its place on the trophy! 🎣🏆

A massive thank you to all the kids and whānau who got involved. We love seeing the next generation out on the lake, having a go, enjoying the outdoors and creating some pretty special memories along the way.

And of course, a big thank you to all the sponsers who helped make the weekend happen and supported our young fishers with prizes. 💙

22 entrants • 10 fish weighed in • one very happy winner!

Congratulations Max — 2026 Kids Fishing Comp Champion! 🏆🎣

See you all again next year!

🩷 WHAT AN INCREDIBLE DAY! 🩷

What a privilege it was to host the STOKED NZ Topless Swim at Lake Rotoiti Hot Pools today! 💕♨️

An absolutely brilliant group of wāhine came together for plenty of laughs, a little bravery and, most importantly, to raise funds and awareness for the Breast Cancer Foundation NZ. 🎀

A huge THANK YOU also needs to go to our wonderful members and visitors. We gave you the heads-up that today might look a little different around the pools, and you were nothing but supportive, respectful and encouraging. We genuinely appreciate you getting behind the event and helping us create a space where these ladies could enjoy their day.

There was such a fantastic atmosphere around the pools — lots of pink, lots of laughter and a whole lot of good energy. 🩷

To the team at STOKED NZ, thank you for choosing our little piece of paradise to be part of such a special fundraiser. We absolutely loved having you!

What a day, what a group of women, and what a fantastic cause. 🎀🩷

We reckon this photo says it all! 📸

The first event brought 70 women together at Lake Rotoiti in 2025.

First fish to be weighed in!!!

🩷 A HEADS-UP FOR TOMORROW! 🩷

Tomorrow Saturday 10th October, Lake Rotoiti Hot Pools is proud to be hosting the STOKED NZ Topless Swim, raising funds for the Breast CanceTomorrow

Saturday 10th October, Lake Rotoiti Hot Pools is proud to be hosting the STOKED NZ Topless Swim, raising funds for the Breast Cance Foundation NZ. 💕🎀

The event runs from 11am–2pm, and we just want to give all of our visitors a little heads-up that between approximately 11.45am and 1.30pm there will be a number of topless women onsite and enjoying the pools — the clue is in the name! 😉😂

♨️ The Hot Pools will remain OPEN to the public as usual.

If you’re visiting with the kids, or topless swimmers aren't really your thing, you may want to plan your soak for earlier or later in the day.

We’re incredibly happy to be supporting this group of fabulous women as they take the plunge for such an important cause. 🩷

A little bit of bravery, a lot of laughter, and all for a great cause!
See you on the lake! 💕♨️

🚤 NEED A RIDE TO THE POOLS THESE SCHOOL HOLIDAYS? ♨️

No boat? No worries!

Make an afternoon of it and let Rotoiti Water Shuttles get you across the lake to Lake
Rotoiti Hot Pools. Sit back, enjoy the ride and arrive right at our doorstep ready for a soak, a swim and maybe some hot chips! 🍟♨️

School holidays are the perfect excuse for a lake adventure with the kids.

☀️ SCHOOL HOLIDAYS = HOT CHIPS BY THE LAKE! 🍟

Is there anything better than hot chips after a swim in the pools? We don’t think so!

Pack up the kids, jump in the boat and head over to Lake Rotoiti Hot Pools for a school holiday adventure. Soak in the pools, enjoy some time by the lake and keep the kids fuelled with a hot bowl of chips. 🍟♨️🚤

Swim. Soak. Eat. Repeat.

School holiday days done right at Lake Rotoiti Hot Pools 💙
