From the 5 star world class setup, the soothing ambience of an early morning soak was the highlight of our visit to Taupo. The Geothermal walk topped off the experience and is highly recommended. We are so glad we made the time to enjoy this exceptional experience.

We enjoyed seeing the bubbling Geyser and silica layers. Make sure to take the public road up the valley to the lookout point and see and learn about the Thermal power plant.

We walked around the terraces first - its probably only a ten minute walk but it was worth it and had a dip in the pools after. It was quite, and a sunny day it was beautiful. We had such a good time.

It’s great experience for everyone in the family!

It’s clean, quite, and claim bathing environment for adults that is over 14 years old. The adults definitely could find some peaceful and relaxing here! For the kids, they could explore the trail and Maori village nearby. The whole trail is very easy for all age groups. The Maori village is very quiet and plenty to see and explore. My kids loved it and took three rounds before they got tired! The only cons is that the water is different from the Polynesian Spa. Based on the feedback from my group, they didn’t got the feeling of smooth touching on their skin after bathing, the water is a bit more like regular house bath water. However We could see the water is directly from the geyser, maybe just different minerals.

Nice hot soak

People were kind Not crowded when we went , go early for less people. Water feels amazing! Of course unfiltered mineral water pools will have a little algae and calcium build up. Most springs will have this, it is not a chlorinated pool!

So relaxing!

We really enjoyed our time here after a morning walking up and down hills, it was so good to soak those achey muscles in these beautiful hot pools of different temperatures in beautiful scenic surrounds . So fortunate to have a beautiful sunny day as well! No hires because of Covid rules, take your own towel and shower when you get home ( apparently this will help you get the most of your mineral dip as the body can absorb them better ). Great value for money, would highly recommend. Cafe was open when we were leaving, we didn’t try it but would have if we had time.

Fabulous, relaxing morning. The thermal pools were relatively quiet and we spent a luxurious 2 hours chilling out. Well worth the money and time. Felt the effect for the rest of the day and slept well that night.

Great experience! Some space would be good for family with kids for rainy days . As some family with kids shares the experience. Good garden outside , but can’t do much if it’s raining. Some activities such as painting , blocks , etc and little space would be good 😊
