A great place to experience the geothermal culture in Rotorua. We took the general admission package, which allowed us to soak in all pools of various temperatures. A lady came to check the temperature of each pool regularly, and the hottest is 40 :) The eco-trail was great too - steam coming out of the water source makes the view magnificent.

Awesome place to reset ready for the new year! Clean and tidy facilities, friendly accommodating staff and yummy food (especially the carrot cake)! We will definitely be back 😊

Underrated hot spring spot with genuinely friendly staff and a relaxing setup. It can get crowded at times, and the food options are limited, they should offer more variety. Still, overall worth visiting.
