Additional Details:
Outside normal hours this L-shaped pool is transformed as guests of private parties dance on the floodlit floor or eat freshly barbecued food at the water's edge. Designed by a leading Auckland industrial designer, Mr. W.C. Chick, the pool is open for swimming at 102 degrees F all year round. Waiwera was developed for as a tourist resort, probably the first enterprise of its kind in New Zealand, by Robert Graham. He settled here in 1844 and 20 years later built a magnificent two storied wooden hotel. It was burned to the ground in 1939. Now, modern buildings and equipment have added to Waiwera's fame
