steamy & industrial

Sitting in the Kawerau geothermal field, which is part of the Taupō Volcanic Zone the station is the largest single-generator geothermal plant in New Zealand. Bring a sci-fi or Bruce Willis fight sequence, a film crew here would have very little impact on the plant’s operations.

One of the great things about filming in the Bay of Plenty is the close proximity to New Zealand cities and rural townships.  Even when you are enjoying our spectacular rural filming locations you still have access to major infrastructure and amenities nearby.
