Top notch

Our group of 4 had a wonderful experience there, soaking blissfully in the hot pools and walking around the tracks with such informative panels at all points of interest. The cafe lunch was the cherry on the cake!

loved it!

We really enjoyed our visit to the pools. We tried all the pools with their different temperatures, so relaxing to sit for a time. Nice settings with the trees and palms, and not too glitzy, I like to see some nature around. We went the next day as well, where else can you do something like this?! Very happy to book online and get one of the specials with bookme. Great value!

A great experience!

My husband was skeptical about visiting the thermal pools but was surprised at how much he enjoyed himself. The facilities were clean and the atmosphere was definitely chill and very relaxing. This was one of the highlights of my NZ trip!

Awesome peaceful thermal pools

Fantastic place with 4 pools to choose from in an idealic setting complete with a beautiful landscape of native trees and shrubs. The reception staff were very welcoming and helpful and the cafe had a good range of food which was very tasty.
