We had the most amazing time stargazing! We actually changed the day and time directly with the company to ensure the clearest night, and it was so easy to do this. The area you go to for the stargazing is so well set up and it was fascinating learning about the stars, and also the significantce in Māori culture. Would 100% recommend, it was magical.
Great journey! Matt is very kind! It deserves the money.
? wonderful day
Lovely place to visit - however entry for 2 children to enjoy the inflatable slide and pools was $60. A lil on the steep side. However, facilities clean and tidy and a lovely spot to relax
Beautiful scenery, lovely facility, spent a perfect day here with our family.
Relax yourself in three different temperature hot pools. The view is awesome!
Lovely clean pools ,we were lucky with the weather and the lack of crowds .
It was nice and relaxing but downfall The changing rooms are so tiny pretty much touching elbows there were people getting changed in the doorway to the ice skating cos there was no room not sure if people left there bags in there as there was a few bags without owners but there was no room for the amount of people there, after I got undressed I just put my jeans hoodie and shoes on *no undies, t-shirt it was cold* only so that someone else could try and get dressed there was no keep 2m apart if one had covid we all would have it no matter how fast ya were you or where ya got dressed in that room you were touching someone and waiting to use the toilet because people are getting dressed in them if the car park wasn't so far down the hill and ot wasn't freezing weather I'd suggest wrapping ya towel around ya and run all I can say keep ya elbows in only put on the main things your heading to the place ya staying at so you don't put everything on be In and out of the changing rooms And just relax in the pools
Nice place to get yourselves warm especially in this cold weather. Place is clean and not crowded
Amazing moments under the Milky Way, I recommend 100% !! Thanks Aleisha!!
Great experience for our 4.5 year old daughter. Helpful staff and great being right next to the pools
It’s really amazing night while having a hot bath under the stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️. Really worth it!
Good hosts, perfect sky, nice location, warm pool and interesting stories/facts. Would recommend everybody to do this. Off course some luck is needed with the weather!
Our Lake Tekapo star gazing experience during autumn was truly unforgettable. As the sun set and the sky gradually darkened, the chill in the autumn air only added to the sense of anticipation and wonder. Once night fell, the sky came alive in the most spectacular way. With minimal light pollution, the stars appeared incredibly bright and vivid, and the Milky Way stretched clearly across the sky. It was a magical sight—something you don’t fully appreciate until you see it with your own eyes. The guides were knowledgeable and passionate, sharing fascinating insights about constellations, planets, and the unique features of the Southern Hemisphere sky. Their enthusiasm made the experience even more engaging and meaningful. What made it extra special was the peacefulness of the surroundings—the stillness of Lake Tekapo, the crisp autumn breeze, and the sheer vastness of the night sky. It felt both humbling and awe-inspiring at the same time. Overall, it was a breathtaking experience and a must-do for anyone visiting Lake Tekapo in autumn. Highly recommended for those looking to witness the beauty of the night sky in one of the world’s best stargazing locations.
The team was experienced and enthusiastic. The hot pool stargazing was amazing and something I highly recommend to people travelling to Lake Tekapo
Absolutely amazing place to stop and relax. My 7 year old loved it and the pools had the most amazing views. Would recommended it to all. Very family friendly. Next time we are down south will definitely visit again.
There were six in our group. Four adults, 8 y.o and 2 y.o. Mr 8 bought a combo and had an amazing time going between the waterslide, bouncy playground and the pools. The majority of the adults just soaked in the pools (except Mr 8’s Mum) who had to follow him. Was awesome, lovely friendly attendants, clean facilities, clear signage. I wore aqua shoes which was apparently a good choice because those in bare feet struggled with the heat and in some places (watching the waterslide) quite rough terrain.
Very relaxing hot pools , had about 5 different pools all with different heats very nice views , changing rooms were clean even at the end of the day. Grabbed a great bargain with this deal :)
Great day had by myself and my family. My elderly mother is in a wheelchair and the staff were so helpful throughout the day. The staff helped me get mum into the water chair and then helped me get her in the pool. The weather was extremely cold but the view was great. The pizza and chips deal was a great finish to the day, sitting in the cafe with the fire going.
Awesome place to go on a cold day. Great mountain views add to the experience especially when it's snowing.
Really nice place to spend the day, I wish to come back soon
Been here several times, can't get over this beautiful spot. Each being a different scenery, clear blue skies to snowy mountains. Don't just drive by stay a night or two!
Tekapo springs is a must do while there aren't crowds- one day it will be like Hanmer, so make the most of the beautiful surrounds and quieter pools while you can, my kids had an absolutely brilliant time, and with the extra options available it could quite easily be a weeks worth of activities just within Tekapo. So set aside at least one nights stay for 2 days of relaxing and restoration of your body and mind. Just do it!
Awesome spot for afternoon chill!
First time for us to visit Tekapo Springs. We love the view, the pools are great, everyone was friendly abd helpful, too. Will definitely recommend to friends.
Loved it, wish we had stayed longer. Lovely facilities, awesome staff. Well be back for sure
Nice views
We live locally and visit once a month perfect as always
its clean and a good pool for children as well. child friendly place. great place for the whole family to enjoy
I think it's not a real spring(just hot water). There are 3 kinds of hot pool and the third is warmer. Although the temperature is not high, but the hot pools can help you to release some pressure.
Paid extra for a sauna, was awesome!!! Such a nice experience and everyone was super friendly......great place to be!
