Thank you for coming and relaxing at our spa. We appreciate your visit.
Das schönste war der Blick auf den See. Ansonsten wirkte alles etwas herunter gekommen, die Umkleiden kalt und ungemütlich (nicht einmal einen Fön gab es), die Pools nicht besonders gut gepflegt. Da habe ich schon schönere Thermalbäder für den halben Preis erlebt, z.B. die Hanmer Spa's
Thank you for your review. The change rooms you entered are underfloor heated and this is switched on as winter approaches. Hairdryers are provided in the deluxe lake spa pools. There is a regular schedule of maintenance undertaken on our site, with pools refurbished constantly. Our pools are all geothermal sulphur-rich and sulphate-laden pools and our complex in the middle of a geothermal zone. Our site is heritage-protected and historic with the first deep pool you saw upon entry built in the late 1800s. The area that is cordoned off in the middle of this adults only area houses the old iconic Priest Springs and pools which no-one bathes in, they are protected.
Eintritt ab 21.30h war super...sehr ruhig, wenige Leute. Die Pools sind schön angeordnet, alle finden einen guten Platz. Blick auf den See auch abends top. Sehr fein zum Abschalten und Entspannen!
Thank you Ursula! Hope you can return one day.
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.

Auszeit im Spa
Wir haben ca 2 Std entspannt im Polynesian Spa in Roterua verbracht (man kann länger bleiben, aber für uns waren 2 Std ausreichend). Man hat Zugang zu ca. 7 Pools, die Temperatur jeweils unterschiedlich, von 38 - 41 Grad. Das war sehr entspannend u. eine schöne Abwechslung zu unseren sonstigen Wanderungen/ Aktivitäten.
