Outdoor Pools

As you walk down the hill to the lush valley, you can feel that Taupo Hot Springs is a special place. A real New Zealand experience. Tropical palms and native fauna surround the pool complex. There are 2 large naturally fed mineral hot pools at different temperatures for your comfort. Bathe away every care in the world in the healing mineral waters surrounded by waterfalls and lush landscaping. Relax and unwind in the pools with air loungers, water curtains and massage seats. The mineral-rich contents and temperature of the volcanic spring water will relax muscles, purify the skin, increase blood circulation and eliminate toxins.

Cool off and play with the kids in the fresh water pool and spa pool (jacuzzi). Showers and changing rooms as well as secure lockers and towels are available for your convenience. Curl up with a good book on a lounge chair around the pools or throw a barbeque for friends and family at the Barbeque Pavilion.

And don’t forget to rejuvenate with a signature Thermal Mud Treatment or Hot Volcanic Stone Massage at Living Waters Spa located at the pool complex. 

The pools are an excellent place to de stress & relax with the addition of a safe play area for children & a private pools perfect for couples.
