Some of the best pools we've been to. Great selection of temperatures and such an amazing environment to relax in.
Great
These hot pools are beautifully landscaped, with different heat options, all the natural minerals intact! Clean facilities, kind staff. Its a bit of a walk from changing sheds/toilets to the pools, so if you have a robe it'll be welcome when you exit the pools to use the bathroom. Take a water bottle. and if you have sensitive feet, some jandals or crocs, as the non slip mats on the access path are quite prickly (but better than slipping). Highly recommend.
These pools are amazing. After a good soak i am totally pain free from all my aches for most of the rest of the day. Be sure to take a water bottle to rehydrate during your soak
