Our Story

Precious, pure and shared with you


Te Waihou, literally translates as 'The New Water' is sourced deep in the heartland of New Zealand from the region of Putaruru, which means 'Home of the Owl'. The owl is recognised locally not only for its name, but for its role as guardian and protector of the area and our pure water source, the Blue Spring - New Zealand's most precious spring water. Te Waihou Reserve is a peerless enhancement to any fine dining experience.

The essence of Te Waihou Reserve (pronounced Tea Why Ho) is centred around taking care of our precious water. In order to provide you with a premium water which is as close to the purity of our source as is humanly possible, we have made sure our precious water is correctly protected on every step of its journey from our source, to our state of the art bottling plant facility, to your dining table.
