Absolutely loved our visit to Ōpuke Thermal Pools & Spa! The lazy river pool was hands down the highlight — floating along in beautifully warm water while it was raining on a summer day was such a unique and relaxing experience. With the temperature around 10°C, the contrast between the cool rain and the hot pools was pure bliss. We also spent time in the cave pool, which was incredibly soothing and had a lovely, calm vibe. There were only 8 of us in total, so it felt uncrowded, peaceful, and perfect for unwinding. The facilities were fantastic — water fountains for free drinking water, complementary lockers, tidy hot showers, a swim costume dryer, and excellent reception staff who made everything smooth and welcoming. Honestly, it turned out to be the perfect day for a hot pool soak — rain, cool weather, great facilities, and a relaxed atmosphere. Can’t recommend Ōpuke enough and will definitely be back!
This is our second time to Opuke and it didn't disappoint. Clean, not jam packed and beautiful warm weather. The 2.5m jump pool a big hint with the small person. Food at the cafe was yummy. Highly recommend.

Opuke Thermal hotpools absolutely fabulous 👌
I have always wanted to visit the Opuke hot pools and was not disappointed! We came as part of our wedding anniversary celebration. The environment is truly serene and beautiful, the service friendly and the facilities well placed and generous such as the complimentary lockers. We will most definitely be back again!
