We visitied late afternoon into the early evening. The pool area is beautiful natural and hot. The three pools are of different temperatures (unknown due to the natural nature of the water). When we visited it was busy but were able to find somewhere to sit and relax in all the pools. If you are used to similar in other parts of the world you will be disappointed at what is not included in the price eg water, nice facilities, robes, towels etc. However, these can all be purchased or hired at a small additional cost, making the entry cost a bargain and the experience authentic. The only thing that would make this any better would be a swim up bar.

This is a lovely facility with four pools that you can choose your own temperature to relax in. They have an optional walk around the terraces to see the geothermal pools bubbling out of the ground and down towards to the pools. Great way to spend a rainy day!

Entry is from 14+ that we really like. No children making mess or noise. There are 3 cascade pools (40, 36 and 34 Degree water), deep enough for some swimming. Not too crouded. We spent around 3 hours chilling in the water and that was really enough. Minus is that entry fee not include walk. With price of 27$ per person, another 15$ for the walk is little ridiculous. Should be at least discount..

Relaxed Thermal Spa, pay your entry fee and then go enjoy the different pools for as long as you like. There are four different temperature pools. Hottest is 41/42C (located at the most top part of the area) and feels like being in a sauna. Next to this is the coolest pool at 33C, feels cooler after moving from the hottest, and as such is considered a plunge pool. The other two pools are connected, yet keep slightly different temperatures, one at 38C and the other at 36C. The temp differences may seem small but they do feel quite different when in the pools. There is ample room for quite a lot of people, though it was relatively quiet when we visited so was extra relaxing. You feel very relaxed after enjoying the pools for a couple of hours. The minerals should also prove good for the body. $27 entry, $5 for a towel (plus $5 deposit), same for a locker, double this price for a robe. You can bring your own items (and water) to avoid these costs.

A relaxing way to spend a couple of hours, but be warned...on a wet Saturday afternoon this place gets crowded! Fortunately we were leaving around 3pm when the hoards were arriving. Seriously, there was a queue to get into the women's changing room as we left 😁

If you are in Taupo you can Not go past this place Truly a natural wonderland $27 well spent or you can go on grab one and save $10 Unfortunately adults only bring your bathing suits and enjoy a hot soak in natures finest thermal springs
