Hot pools are amazing 👌🏽
The Hot pools were amazing! Especially after just completing a half marathon. I would definitely return when in Taupō again. My friend had a massage & facial, she raved about it, she said it was one of the best massages she's had. Only let down was the Women's changing rooms! Really in need of an upgrade. One shower & 2 toilets for the volume of people who are using the pools is not ideal.

Hot pools
The hot pools were awesome. Felt very relaxed after. The temperature of each pool were well balanced. Totally worth the admission fee.
