relaxing

Lovely pools to visit for the relaxation and healing properties. It was a shame that on our visit a few of the midrange temperature pools were closed. I do understand that they do need to be healthy to make us healthy!

Kia ora Pauline Thank you for your review. Our pools are filled naturally from the ground which means we cannot control the temperatures or mineral content which is where the benefits are. This means sometimes we have to close individual pools which would be at a very high temperature and we operate up to the 45" mark. Thank you for visiting our beautiful taonga. Nga mihi Moana

Feeling Bliss

Unexpectedly recommended by one of the locals. So thrilled that we were able to get in on the same night. 16 hot pools to choose from 24-45°C! Although a few were closed but still plenty to choose from. Heavenly soothing. Met new people in the pool, sharing our travel experiences. Beautiful surrounding, good company in warm soothing healing hot spring. Thank you for creating such wonderful environment for us to enjoy.
