We arrived a little late and were charged extra for this. I asked what time we could stay until and the lady said that there was no limit. So we asked then why charge us extra for being late. The toilets were terrible and only one toilet in the main change rooms. We had great time In the pools.
Great place to soak in the mineral goodness. Can feel it sinking into your skin! Beautiful atmosphere and lovely staff too. Highly recommended.
We went Friday lunchtime for 2 hours, it was quiet , We go there probably every month, you would pay $27 at the pools, I personally wouldn’t pay that much, it makes it too expensive at our age . As long as we can get a deal we will keep going.
Very serene and relaxing. The pools are a perfect temperature and clean. Nice changing rooms. Make sure you have your own towel. It was a worthwhile stop while traveling in New Zealand

Taking a drip helps with all the aches and pains. And a good night sleep
