The grounds are beautiful, unfortunately the pools were not open. However I had a wonderful massage with the sound of a waterfall outside. The 'cocktails' were also delicious.

My girlfriend and I did a couples massage - sugar scrub I believe, which was heavenly. The staff were excellent and the food and drinks were perfect too. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to de-stress.

This was the most amazing experience. Probably the best place we have been in New Zealand. It was just so relaxing. We got the TLS package and it was definitely value for money highly recommend. Being served in the pool your drinks and just the best way to wind down. The massage was so relaxing

Amazing place to visit especially on a wild winter night. All the staff were friendly and helpful and even everyone else swimming were in a happy chatty mood. Great Pure Fiji products on sale, I bought a few for birthday gifts. A lovely atmosphere in the bar restaurant with live music. This place is focussed on adults enjoying themselves.

Hey, sorry I don’t know. I’m sure you could find out on their website, or give them a call, as you’re in NZ so would only be a local call. I’m in Australia so can only wish I was there!
Hi, since its a hot pools, is it worth it to visit sometime around first week of december which is the start of the summer season? Or maybe too hot?

You drive south to the Coromandel Peninsula and stay in Whitianga. The Lost Spring is in Whitianga.
Check accommodation there and stay for a while.

Hi Alannahh,
The Geo-Thermal pool temperatures range from 30 - 41 degrees so there is a spot for everyone to relax, unwind and enjoy all year round.

Thanks for your question Elisa.
Most of our customers bring their own swimsuits. We do have some for purchase if you do not have any or need to purchase some.
Kind Regards, The Lost Spring Team.

Hello! We would like to know if there is an entrance fee for the hotsprings? Thabk you!

Yes there is, my recommendation is to pay for the longer stay as you end up totally relaxing and enjoying the tranquility of the pools. Plus you can get awesome meals at the restaurant. 2018 prices are NZD$90 for 90 minutes and NZD$110 for a full day

If I am 10 weeks pregnant, am I able to sit in hot springs?
C23T
Whitianga, New Zealand13 contributions
Hi Gabfrog85 - we always advise any customers who are pregnant to check with their midwife that swimming in Geo-Thermal waters is ok for their pregnancy (as every pregnancy is different).
We would advise you to stay out of our Crater Lake pools as these pools exceed body temperature (38-42degrees) but our main and biggest pool sits between 28-36 degrees and should be fine. Just double check everything with your midwife.
I hope this helps - The Lost Spring Team.

Looking at earlier post regarding prices one states child prices the other states children over the age of 14.
Can someone clarify if children aged 7 & 3 are allowed. We were hoping to visit with our two grandsons in March

Hi there, Children need to be over the age of 14 to enter the complex - due to licensing restrictions and the sale of alcohol.
Kind Regards, The Lost Spring Team
