Regnerisch guter BeUch

Leider hat es bei meinem Besuch geregnet dachte ich mir, aber es war überhaupt nicht störend sondern eher angenehm das von oben das Regenwasser kam. Schade das es keinen Sitz oder Relaxbereich gibt. Ansonsten sehr schön warme Pools und tolle Atmosphäre.

Entspannte Stunden

Die Pools sind preisgünstig und sehr unkompliziert. Man kann in verschiedenen Temperaturen wunderbar entspannen. Es gibt ein Cafè mit allem wünschenswerten. Und es ist gut zu erreichen von Taupo. Leider gibt es kein Trinkwasser angeboten, unbedingt mitnehmen oder abgefüllt kaufen.

Entspannung pur

Nach einer längeren Wanderung haben wir uns in den heißen Quellen etwas Erholung gegönnt. Es war großartig die Temperatur der Becken wurde angepasst die Atmosphäre war super. Duschen danach ist nicht notwendig, es fördert die Wirkung des Wassers es nicht abzuwaschen. Wir waren rundum zufrieden.
