Situated in the South Pacific, over 1,000km from its nearest neighbours, New Zealand was one of the very last lands in the world to be populated. The source of Antipodes can be found near Whakatane in the North Island’s Bay of Plenty, surrounded by hills, rivers, forest and lakes.
The district has experienced little commercial or industrial activity and continues to have extremely low population density – very rare in the world of capturing and bottling water.
Far beneath the earth’s surface at a depth of 327m is the natural home of Antipodes; an artesian aquifer composed of silica rich ignimbrite rock. Assessed as New Zealand’s deepest high quality water source, it exists under such immense geological pressure that the water flows naturally all the way to the surface. Its measured age at bottling is between 50 to 300 years.
Antipodes water is exceptionally pure and needs only a simple microfiltration before bottling. No sterilisation, no additives, no industrial cleansing and processing. Our bottling line is state of the art and our quality testing rigorous - their sole purpose is to ensure the water in our bottles is unaltered from the purity of its origins. We bottle only Antipodes at our source – nothing more and nothing less.
