Legendary Water
Legendary Source
Waiwera is an idyllic little valley in one of the most untouched places in the world. 1500 meters beneath that place (that’s about four Empire State buildings), encased in layers of clay and rock and completely isolated from any possible pollution (not that there is any pollution in New Zealand of course) is a natural geothermal artesian aquifer containing one of the most exceptional waters in the world. Indeed so exceptional that 200 years ago the local Maori (indigenous people of New Zealand) named it Te Rata (The Doctor).
Waiwera Water is still drawn from this legendary aquifer 130 years after it was first bottled and sold in 1875. Read more about our history
The water is drawn from the aquifer directly into our state of the art bottling plant, through the ionization and advanced filtration process, bottled, capped and shipped from right here in little old Waiwera, without ever being exposed to surface air or potential human contamination. Not that our humans are contaminated, we’re nuclear free in New Zealand you know.

New Zealand
Just before you fall off the bottom of the earth, in a place just a little further south than say, Fiji, for example, where the Pacific Ocean meets the Tasman sea, there are three small islands known as New Zealand. You will have seen New Zealand in movies because it’s the most spectacular, unspoiled place in the world, with snowy mountains, crystal clean streams, vast untouched forests filled with native birds and just a handful of lovely laid-back people all breathing wonderful smog-free air. Even the birds are laid-back in New Zealand; the Kiwi (not the fruit, the national bird) is so laid-back it doesn’t bother flying and only comes out at night to eat prehistoric native bugs like the giant Weta. Peter Jackson named his visual effects company after the Weta. Peter Jackson is the most famous person in New Zealand because he puts our beautiful scenery in movies about hobbits.
