I enjoyed following the recommendation of one of the women working there, the lifeguard(?), who said she likes to go from cool to hot, so when I went from the 38 to 39, then 40 to 41 degree pools, my body was acclimatised, and found the heat accessible, and easier to relax in than if I had tried to plunge straight into v. hot water immediately. Great having hairdryers, and very friendly fellow bathers, who recommended other places for me to go (the redwoods, a local cafe), in the changing room. Thank you 🙏

What a fantastic experience with R&R kayaking! From the welcome at the desk to the care given by Marshall prior to, during and post-kayaking, I can’t imagine any way that my experience could have been improved, from the pre water guidance and demos to the vegetarian lunch, including red velvet cake and fresh cafetière coffee on the beach, my apprehension about kayaking after a long day’s hike the previous day were gradually and easily quelled. The only challenge I experienced was one small blister where I had got a bit competitive to take my 11-year old co-pilot close to paddle alongside her family as we navigated through gaps between rocks, and pushed a bit harder than my skin could take! But I was given all the time and WiFi I needed at the end, with a shower and a hang-out space to recover, and an Elastoplast to take away with me when I left for the Betterbus back to Nelson once we’d finished, and all our kayaks and gear were thoroughly washed and cared for for the next lucky participants! Go R&R kayaks - you did great! 🙌🙏😎
