Thanks for your review. Our mineral pools are emptied every single night, every pool (27 of them) except for one pool which is chlorinated in the family pool area. The mineral particles in the water are from the ground. It is geothermal water and has suspended minerals in it, this is not skin, There are signs all around the complex to explain this. The acidic Priest spring often has suspended sulphates which are visible, whereas the alkaline spring water can appear milky depending on weather and atmospheric conditions. If you looked over the fence at the old preserved historic pools when you visited you would have seen the geothermal water bubbling up from the ground and it looks exactly like the water in the pools. During the day, the pools are refilled due to water overflowing the sides from people entering and new fresh mineral water being added to keep to advertised temperatures. This is checked with sophisticated equipment and backed up by manual procedure. Please be assured our complex is hygienically cleaned regularly to keep it safe for all our valued guests.
Bassins nombreux et vu magnifique sur le lac avec un ballet oiseauxzn fin de journée Personnel accueillant
Merci!
I ended up at the Polynesian Spa Pavillion Pools 4x during my 3 weeks in Aotearoa. Once driving all the way from Tauranga, another driving all the way from Matamata and another all the way from New Plymouth!!! I would recommend going in the evenings to get the full vibe. You're essentially just lounging around soooopa chill, relaxing in a number of geothermally heated pools. So if you're on holiday I would say saving the daylight hours for day time type activities then hitting up the hot pools n the evening when you can kick back and relax whilst getting the most natural healing for your body, mind and soul.
Dear Suelang, thanks for the amazing energy in your review — we love that you made the trip multiple times from all over! Evenings really do have a special vibe here, and it’s great to hear how much you appreciated that. Hope we’ll see you again on your next adventure through Aotearoa.
I booked the deluxe spa pools and was very disappointed with the cleanliness of the change rooms and toilets , they really need a good proper clean , I don’t think anyone checks the hygiene standards and n this area . It definately put me off the whole experience
Dear Justin, thanks for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the facilities didn’t meet your expectations. Our change rooms are cleaned regularly throughout the day, but we’ll pass this on to our team to review and ensure nothing was missed. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.
Throughly enjoyed my down time here, so peaceful, soothing & relaxing. My body felt so good during & after, I stayed 3 hours, would definitely visit again!
Dear Nga-Raena, thanks for sharing your experience. It’s great to hear you had such a restorative visit, three hours well spent! We’d love to welcome you back anytime.

Intéressant mais l'eau était douteuse
L'eau était remplie de petites particules qui flottent comme de la peau desquamee ... bizarre et ça donne pas envie. A voir si c'est nettoyé régulièrement et hygiénique vu le nombre de touristes...
