The balm of soft, gentle water

Nature has taken the lead and crafted nobility into Otakiri New Zealand Artesian Water. Our award-winning soft, beautifully balanced water is testament to the ideal mix of naturally occurring hydrochemistry.

Purified by nature

The secret behind our soft, beautifully balanced water is the naturally occurring, optimal combination of critical trace elements. Verified by globally recognised reports, the Otakiri Aquifer produces naturally pure water imbued with dissolved minerals that provide its distinctive high-quality character, taste and health benefits.


We have been conducting scientific measurement and testing at Otakiri’s source for almost 30 years and in that time the mineral composition has remained consistent.
