Following ratification of the original gift of land in 1883, the reserve was vested in the Government of New Zealand in 1898 as an area where the thermal waters could be used and promoted as a health spa, similar to those in Europe. Camille Malfroy, an early advocate of the development of the Rotorua Spa, was responsible for the creation of the Gardens in the early 1890s.
