Te Aroha was a well known spa centre. People travelled great distances to take the waters for their famed healing properties. The Domain reached a peak in popularity during Edwardian times followed by a period of declining interest. A recent programme of restoration of its buildings and the addition of new features has revived this important Victorian-Edwardian spa site. A Postcard from Te Aroha is an account of the fluctuating fortunes of the Domain and a record of an important part of New Zealand's cultural history.
The author, Kevin Wells, was raised on a farm near Te Aroha. He was educated at Te Aroha and later completed a degree at Canterbury University. He taught geography and was on the staff of Te Aroha College for a time. Kevin has had a long-standing interest in the local history of Te Aroha and has written many articles on this subject for a variety of publications. He has been a member of community groups such as Project Te Aroha, The Te Aroha & District Museum, and the Te Aroha Fish & Game Association.
