Opal Hot Springs & Holiday Park sits on six hectares of park-like grounds at 257 Okauia Springs Road, Matamata, in the Waikato region of New Zealand's North Island.

The property centres on naturally heated mineral pools, including both outdoor and private indoor soaking options, and also features an 18-hole golf course.

Accommodation ranges from self-contained family motels and studio units to cabins and powered sites for campervans and motorhomes.

The location is well-placed for exploring the central North Island — just 25 minutes from the Hobbiton Movie Set, a short drive from Wairere Falls (the North Island's highest waterfall), and roughly an hour from both Hamilton and Tauranga.

The park is open seven days a week, excluding Christmas Day.
