Spa excellence - We booked a private spa experience. The booking process was quick, with plenty of availability. Checking was quick and friendly. The spa was a wonderful, relaxing experience in a private setting with a fantastical view.

Nice after a long walk - Lovely relaxing spa pools, not too crowded. Changing rooms were clean. Tried all of the pools, some were a little hot. Interesting to learn the history of the spa pools.

INCREDIBLE! A MUST DO experience. Your body mind and soul deserve this. - Loved it so much came back 4x during me 3 weeks in Aotearoa. Why wouldn't you treat your body mind and soul to something so special when you can?! I drove hours to get here on multiple evenings during my trip. The Pavillion pools are incredible. Different levels of alkaline and acidity, different mineral content in each one. Different temps... all so sublime and relaxing. Loved that there were no kids either as thats def a gamechanger when at hot pools trying to relax. Cold shower was perfect to get back right after things got a little too hot and steamy. Wish I lived closer so I could go every week. Skin, hair and every part of me felt soft, silky and rejuvenated after being here.

Very relaxing and rejuvenating! - Family trip in evening, where we enjoyed our visit soaking in the outdoor pavilion adult pools. There is a great choice of several different pools with different temperature levels, the centre was clean and the service was good, and not too many people either, nighttime trip is ideal for star gazing wheee the skies are clear

Relaxing, clean geothermal bathing - We (adult family) went on an overcast, mildly rainy and pleasantly cool day, which felt absolutely perfect to enjoy the outdoor pools. The facilities were clean and the pools incredibly relaxing with great views of the geothermal landscape. If we lived here, we'd all get season passes!

Fun and relaxing experience - This was a great experience for our group. The facility is clean and very well organized and laid out. There are several pools of varying temperatures. It was raining the day we were there so we weren’t able to see much of the lake, but it was still very enjoyable. It’s 5 minutes from town, so super easy to get to. We had a reservation for a specific time, but we were able to arrive at the time that worked best for us.

Overall a nice time - Overall I liked the experience. The different pools outdoors looking over the lake were relaxing. It was better during the earlier time we were there when it was less busy. Then we got a massage so enjoyed mine and my spouse did not enjoy his so it's very dependent on who you get. We returned to the pools and they were quite busy. The only other thing I will mention is that the facility could use a facelift, it's very old and dated and it's showing. But still I went there for the pools and the massage and I enjoyed those.

Very relaxing after days of touring. - The thermal baths have different temperatures which are posted. So it's like Goldilocks, i.e. you pick the one that you like the best or go from one to another. The ladies dressing room is very nice as well. It is really nice to view the lake while in one of the thermal pools at sunset.
