Soooo relaxing!
A beautiful morning at the pools taking in the warmth and majestic views! Lovely chat with English tourists visiting which is always a bonus when sitting soaking and have the time without rushing. Good changing rooms and amenities

Always Superb
We spent a chilly summers day here from open till close. Enjoyed lunch, but please cook the pizza more so that the cheese melts. The pools were so clean and perfect. Staff unobtrusive and friendly.
From Tekapo - Tekapo Springs - Hot Pool Entry
Thank you for your lovely review and for spending the day with us, Charlene! We're so pleased to hear you enjoyed the pools and found them clean and relaxing, and that our team made you feel welcome. We also appreciate the feedback about the pizza and will pass this on to our kitchen team. We hope to welcome you back again soon.

Just okay
A simple place with only 3 pools. Just be aware that the hottest pool reached only 38 degrees, so 1 degree more than the average temperature of the body. And note that the pictures of the view are all from a raised angle that is not representative of the view from inside the pools.
From Tekapo - Tekapo Springs - Hot Pool Entry
Thank you for your feedback, Kristin. Our pools are designed to offer a relaxing experience with temperatures typically ranging between 36–38°C, which many guests find comfortable for soaking.
