We had been skiing during a week in September and decided to go to the pools after a great day on the slopes. We ended up going 3 times because it was such a gorgeous experience and did our tired bodies the world of good. Also had an evening meal twice and the standard was right up there...loved the whole experience. What an asset for Methven. Thank you we'll be back for sure :)
Must visit hot pools - 10/10
Water wasn't as hot as I had thought. Too many kids in the Discovery. Get an adults only area, Serenity or Tranquil. Cave was lovely to sit in.
The pavilion is a fabulous structure, customized and modern. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. But the pools themselves weren't impressive. They were smaller than expected and being 5pm it was busy. The water could have been warmer too.
