Relax and unwind in the hot pools, overlooking Tekapo Lake and Two Thumb Mountain range!
The pass is for a day so good value. "Seniors" are over 60s, which was great too. Usually 65! There is a nice cafe, plenty of sun beds around, and of course all the pools. The water was lovely, but be careful of slipping as you walk between the pools. I saved 6 big bumble bees from drowning while I was there, so that was a sad reality of "blue" pools. The changing facilities are great too, good showers etc. For disabled, you can drive right up to the door which is handy, no need to walk the stairs. Nice views from up there too. A great way to spend a half day. I loved it.
Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful review — we’re really glad to hear you had such an enjoyable and relaxing visit. It’s great to know you found the day pass good value and appreciated the facilities, from the café and sunbeds to the changing areas and accessibility. We’re especially pleased the views and overall experience made it such a memorable half day for you. We do take safety seriously, and your note about being careful between pools is appreciated. We’re always working to improve this for our guests. And rescuing those bumblebees… that’s genuinely kind of you. Thanks again for sharing your experience, and we’d love to welcome you back another time.
Amazing and relaxing hot pools in a beautiful town. The experience from check-in to check-out was simple. Great cafe food, too.

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

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.
