Real highlights, tips, and the helpful advice straight from Bookme customers who’ve actually done this experience.
I really love this place, especially on an overcast day. The terraced hot pools are really pleasant and rejuvenating. They also have a great gift shop. Any time I am in the area I make sure to come here!
Best way to start the day. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Would recommend
Absolutely amazing experience. Loved the pools they were incredible.
Love going to the terraces, only wish the steps were marked. Toe stubbing is a part of the experience at the terraces. Staff were lovely.

Such a beautiful experience!
We loved our visit to the hot pools. The walk to explore was beautiful and really interesting; so good to see all the native trees, hot spring up close, and the Maori village. The actual soak in the springs is pure magic; all three of us felt the healing power of the springs and the relaxation of the warm water. Treat yourself and go for a soak and exploratory walk!
