小巧精緻值得一遊,只是路程及時間太短,加上泡湯才是完美行程

小巧精緻值得一遊,只是路程及時間太短,加上泡湯才是完美行程,應大力宣傳套裝行程。在spa櫃臺報到,但行程說明不夠清楚,路上指標容易讓人混淆迷路。

景色还不错,只是比较小。

梯田温泉在太阳的照射下还是很漂亮的,只是公园比较小。

Excellent service, divine massage, picturesque

We were greeted by a lovely staff member who guided us through the process of arriving and finding our way around. My massage was one of the best I’ve ever experienced in my lifetime, and my husband was able to walk around the terraces whilst I did that. We both met up to have a swim and experience all the different temperature pools. There was enough shade and towel hooks to accommodate everyone and it was one of our favourite experiences in New Zealand!
