Tours use to be offered back in the day, however they discontinued that, these days only way in is if you are an employee of Genesis energy. NZ biggest coal/gas generator that is used for back up on dry spells or peak demand. Although it is coal/gas burn, that is filtered out finely to ensure minimal environmental impact. (Hence the reason why you can see Ash from the chimneys) Has 6 turbines with unit 5 and 6 being the strongest and most recent additions. Amazing piece of history :)

An iconic landmark since the 1970s. Also an important part of Huntly's community as a major employer for so many (not enough?) years. Once upon a time vapour was visible from the chimney stacks and always used as a point of reference time-wise for trip to/from Auckland/Hamilton. A clear unobstructed view of chimneys and building can be seen from Huntly Visitor Centre on the main road north south.
Very powerful place!!! Impressive smoke stacks dominating the region
Should be considered by Doc for the next great walk. Breathtaking views of the smoke stacks and the majestic brown of the Waikato River make this a must see for any NZ visitor
Love the air pollution from this place, really improves my health. If your doctor isn’t recommending this place I’m sorry to tell you they’re not a real doctor
Takes your breath away
One of the most visually striking power stations I've ever seen, especially from across the river.
Went on a day trip to see Huntly's pride and joy, (second to the Deka sign). Very nice. Great success. Highly recommended. The chimney stacks were 2/2, and overall I'd rate this 10/10.
