ElizabethJune 19, 2016Great spa! The private deluxe pool is the way to go. Max 30mins and it's more than enough time. We did 30 and were ready to head home.
Gé .March 21, 2015A tad expensive for the quality but the mineral baths themselves are worth the visit. Large selection of therapies available, try the one with a mud wrap and warm water massage!Upvoted 2 weeks ago
RoanaOctober 6, 2016Loved the private room facing the lake. You come out feeling like you're walking on air. Only 30 mins per booking so come prepared with your swimsuit on. Towel rentals are $5 plus a $5 deposit.
- StéphanieSeptember 8, 2017Weekdays are great. For more tranquility, pay the $ and enjoy a Deluxe Lake Spa entrance. It's worth the extras (unlimited towels, soap, lockers) and feels more relax.
Q RobersonJuly 11, 2017The pools were warm & relaxing, but also noisy & crowded. I'm so glad I booked a treatment (the Aix therapy) and had some quiet time in the relaxation room, which gave me the spa getaway I wanted!
Adam FarkasMarch 19, 2016Does it worth 25 bucks to sit in 4 different pools almost at the same range of heat? Maybe a cold pools would add a little bit, then warm-cold-hot-cold...
Igor LenivtsevSeptember 27, 2014A def must do in NZ. 5 outdoor thermal baths with a stunning view of Rotorua Lake
Petr KlikaJuly 15, 2015great service! free lockers, free towels, free soap, shampoo, conditioner and creme. free wifi. make a facetime call from the pool!
PatrickDecember 14, 2013Adult spa. Worth it. Bring a water bottle and look for the tiny signs next to each pool that indicate the temperature.
Jess MartinFebruary 17, 2017Had a mud therapy/massage and loved it! Only complaint is the seagulls. They made it a little hard to relax at first.
Kass KNovember 22, 2014Beautiful spa with great thermal pools. Amazing value for the adult and priest pools with 7 pools to try
Mohamed Al SadoonJune 23, 2013Watch your step in the deluxe Private pool. The steps are VERY slippery. A stubbed toe will sour your experience
Emily ChavarriagaFebruary 22, 2015It's basically a bunch of large jacuzzis with a lot of people around. Good for the health benefits but not luxurious at all which was my original thought.- David SmithJanuary 3, 2018Deluxe lake spa package comes with towels, locker, and free juice.

- Kass KNovember 22, 2014The adult and priest pools have 7 different thermal pools ranging from 38-42 degrees Celsius. Great value
Kath ReadFebruary 6, 2019Splash out for the Lake Spa (Deluxe) package - it's the little extras that make it special.
MariFebruary 28, 2016Really wanted to like this place but it was just too crowded. Great hot springs though if you can ignore the noisy & crowded ambiance.
Fi DoyleJanuary 7, 2014Pregnant and with aching legs and back? Get a pregnancy massage. I just did. It was incredible. So relaxing.
Jamie FJune 17, 2017The spa pools have a pretty good going hydrogen sulphide smell going on aka rotten eggs which is hard to get rid off on clothing. The massages are below par. Save yourself money and go elsewhere
Pamela WilliamsJanuary 17, 2018The Deluxe pools are nice wish they had complimentary water available it would have been much better!!
phongthon 1October 17, 2013Swim suit can be hired here. Towel ,soap and shampoo are not included. Please bring from home . Lol
stiefa00October 22, 2013Talk to Brayn. A funny guy! He's well informed about your city... have a try ;)
Wyzeoneskie SpottieottieNovember 17, 2010Lived in Rotorua for 4 years and only managed to go there once. I like looking out to a rising sun though at 5am in the morning.
Joe JoeDecember 27, 2011Have to make reservation ahead of time, they are very busy, need at least one day o more .
Joanne SpillerMay 15, 2011The deluxe private spa was just what the doctor ordered hehe. Absolutely fabulous
Sensei K.May 3, 2014Grumpy, unhelpful cafe salesperson severely lacking in basic customer service skills. The pools- very nice.
