Visited twice, each time early evening, there are a series of communal mineral water pools ranging from 33 to 36 degrees C. Also you can visit the private spas at no extra cost, where you get a choice of temperature from 37 to 41 degrees. Very relaxing especially after long days trailing around various thermal attractions. Thursday evening also included... More

We recently stayed at the DeBretts holiday park and visited their thermal water pools. Overall, we were quite happy with our hour or so we spent in the pools. Changing rooms were satisfactory and we had option of plastic tubs (free) to hold our possessions or lockers (can't recall the fee). As the tubs were in sight of everyone near... More

We did not stay at the spa resort, only used the hot spring pools. For a family with young kids the pools are probably a nice diversion. However, if you are looking for a relaxing hot pool experience this is not the place to go. I thought the entry price of $20 per person was too high. There were really... More

We came here after doing the Tongariro crossing the previous day and seriously needing some relaxation. Our motel gave us two $5 off vouchers so it was good value at $15 each for unlimited time -check if your accomo has any! Use of private heated pools is included and highly recommended, although we chose a pool at 40 degrees which... More

Headed here today, a nice complex, starting to look a little dated, but still good. Hot pools are good, the spa pools are nice and relaxing, we would visit again. More
