Love coming here. Every time without fail we go and have a good soak at the pools. Love it, Friendly staff, very tidy place and have always felt safe.
It was an wonderful experience and great deal through book me
The Hot pools were amazing! Especially after just completing a half marathon. I would definitely return when in Taupō again. My friend had a massage & facial, she raved about it, she said it was one of the best massages she's had. Only let down was the Women's changing rooms! Really in need of an upgrade. One shower & 2 toilets for the volume of people who are using the pools is not ideal.
The hot pools were awesome. Felt very relaxed after. The temperature of each pool were well balanced. Totally worth the admission fee.
