Wonderful

We had an absolutely wonderful visit to Ōpuke Thermal Pools & Spa in Methven! From the moment we arrived, everything felt relaxing and well thought out. The thermal pools are beautifully maintained, with stunning views of the Southern Alps that make the whole experience feel truly special. The adult-only Tranquility area with the swim-up bar was a highlight — sipping a drink in the warm pool with that backdrop was unforgettable. Towels, robes and lockers were provided, and staff were friendly and helpful throughout. We also enjoyed grabbing a bite pool-side — great food and service. Clean, peaceful and such a lovely way to unwind. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the area!

Nice

Nice enough pools. The cave pool was the highlight, and probably the pool bar. Delicious food. It's fantastic to have an adult-only area. Impressive bathrooms and good customer service. The massage prices aren't too bad either. Tried to rebook to another time slot on the same day, but they wanted the full price difference. Great day trip if you're already in the area but wouldn't necessarily make a detour for it.
