Awesome place for relaxing and listening to the waterfall. Will definitely return on next trip north.
A lovely soak on a cold winters day. A really nice place.
It was very very good, sometimes a Little Bit too full but not too much and the rest was just soooo good!! Everyone was nice!
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.

I went on a weekday and the pools were uncrowded and relaxing. Clean with beautiful surroundings. Highly recommended
