Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- Tigerram224 contributionsHiked from Spa Thermal Park to Huka falls and total took 1.5 hour round trip (6km). Start point was Spa thermal park car park. Walked a little to Geothermal pool. It is small but very nice and is free for a soak but don’t expect hot water, more like warm water. The park actually has changing room so is convenient if someone wants to go for a swim/ soak in the warm water pool. The hike itself is an easy walk involving gentle slopes and is peaceful walk. Huka Falls is more like a rapids, so have the appropriate expectation.Written 20 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Quest58977850400Auckland, New Zealand5 contributionsWe booked 2 villas for 7 nights - accomodation is stunning and would give a 5 star however agree with a lot of the comments I have seen regarding servicing of the rooms / villas, our beds were not made once, I had to call reception twice and ask for our villa to be hoovered - bathrooms and kitchen floors not cleaned once …. I asked 3 times for clean bedding for my 3 yr old which I never got. I walked up to reception and complained in person - they sent someone down to Hoover and that was it? We expected the rooms to be serviced like at the many others resorts we have stayed at - cleaning of bathrooms, kitchen and toilets, making of beds, and serviced. You don’t go on holiday to wash floors etc and why we booked the villas which is meant to be the premium stay and not cheap.
I was on the fence on giving a 3 or 4 star rating.Written 20 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

An ‘au naturelle’ track is part of the appeal. Nothing too spectacular but a nice walk and gets you up close and personal with some of nature’s little wonders. Very secluded and sheltered with a cafe, camp grounds and a range of free range animals. Enjoyed the visit after passing the entrance for many years and wondering where it led, and well worth the reasonable entrance fee.Written 4 August 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AcinetoAuckland Central, New Zealand23,300 contributionsThe Tarahepa Baths is located very close to the parking lot by Tarahepa Street. The bath is just a few meters away from the parking lot, just keep an eye out for some steam. It was a nice place to dip your feet but be wary about the water temperature as some areas are quite hot. It does go into the lake since it is right there. The sand around the area is also warm.
There were a few spots along the walkway which also had steaming areas. Quite an interesting stop just to see some geothermal activity.Written 5 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
