The Old Baths

This old bathouse situated in a tourist town of the North Island of New Zealand have been closed down since 2021 after seismic assessment found structural integrity concerns in the building.

These beautiful old baths must have been such an amazing thing for tourists to see and it’s so sad to see them in this state, seemingly being left abandoned til something is hopefully done to fix them up one day.

The infirmary

Built around 1901 this old infirmary became a rest home and then a backpackers before being left to ruin, most probably demolition by neglect. We explored this place earlier this year, it was a huge sprawling complex with plenty to see and photograph, there was heaps of natural decay as the building didn’t seem to have been maintained at all for a long time.

We hope you enjoy the pictures,
