Booked the entry passes for tekapo springs through bookme and saved 15$. the hot pools are amazing, relaxing after a long road trip. the money saved went towards our lunch! Book me has offered us best deals through out our NZ trip. highly recommended as it’s 100% authentic tickets and worth the savings
Was fun but the little fella wanted to have a jump and a dive in but unfortunately the deeper pool was closed at the time of our visit. Great place to stop for a couple of hours for our trip from chch to Queenstown
Very relaxing and fabulous views. Choice of three different heated pools, will definitely return if I come back here.
Thank you for your awesome review, Jo!
A beautiful morning at the pools taking in the warmth and majestic views! Lovely chat with English tourists visiting which is always a bonus when sitting soaking and have the time without rushing. Good changing rooms and amenities
Thanks so much for your lovely review! We're glad you had such a relaxing morning enjoying the pools and views — and that you had a nice chat with fellow travellers too. We hope to welcome you back for another soak someday. 😊

Tekapo hot springs
Beautifully clean heated pools with great bathroom facilities which supplied nice flowing soap, shampoo and conditioner. Something we didn't know was that you can leave the pool premises with your wristband and return later, so basically the entry fee could cover a whole day. The views from the pools are beautiful whatever the time of year! The only downside is the expensive entry fee, although bookme did provide us with a small saving. Perhaps that makes it peaceful as there were very few people using the pools when we were there. I'm not sure that the pools are natural hot springs.
