? 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
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
Lovely clean pools ,we were lucky with the weather and the lack of crowds .
Beautiful scenery, lovely facility, spent a perfect day here with our family.
Relax yourself in three different temperature hot pools. The view is awesome!
Nice place to get yourselves warm especially in this cold weather. Place is clean and not crowded
Wonderfully relaxing. Lots of families around in the afternoon so I stuck to the adult only pool. Amazing hot temperatures and a water fountain nearby to stay hydrated. I love that parts of the pool had shade too, it was a warm day. The views were phenomenal! Staff were lovely and you’ll need $3 for a locker, which you have for three hours.
In Silver River Stargazing, Megan is our host, she shares with us all she knows about galaxy, and she gets the sense of humor, also an amazing story teller. All people live near with Lake Tekapo are galaxy protecter, you should come to feel and witness, what they protect and what there work hard for.
Very good experience! Few reasons: -polite and warm welcoming, nice staff -they proposed me to go on an earliest tour where so seat were still available, without charging the price difference -a view of a lot of constellations, nebula and stars (shown on the sky or in the telescope where you can see so much details) for a very affordable price -help to take moon photos through the telescope and they take a photo of you with an amazing sky behind for the souvenir
Amazing experience, incredible views and awesome knowledge from the guide. My advice would be to wrap up warm, and wear warm shoes...or you're feet will get numb. Tekapo is amazing, and this evening was just the icing on the cake A+
You can’t ask more when you can enjoy a night sky full of stars and milky way at -2 temperature being in the hot pools at 10 pm! I enjoyed this part only. With the stargazing, we get to see couple of clusters and nebula but it’s around 15 to 20 people so you don’t get to play around with the telescope. The guideman is obviously telling you good stories about the stars but I would rather lying around in hot pools and enjoying stars with naked eyes. Unfortunately there’s no option available to just choose the hot pools in night session!
Great experience for our 4.5 year old daughter. Helpful staff and great being right next to the pools
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.
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!
It’s really amazing night while having a hot bath under the stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️. Really worth it!
The team was experienced and enthusiastic. The hot pool stargazing was amazing and something I highly recommend to people travelling to Lake Tekapo
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.
Really nice place to spend the day, I wish to come back soon
Awesome spot for afternoon chill!
Loved it, wish we had stayed longer. Lovely facilities, awesome staff. Well be back for sure
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.
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.
Awesome place to go on a cold day. Great mountain views add to the experience especially when it's snowing.
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!
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 :)
We live locally and visit once a month perfect as always
Nice views
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!
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.
