The facilities are so nice and clean, children loved the hot pools, trampoline and go carts, they had so much fun they want to return. Met some lovely fellow campers there. Staff were very nice.

This is a hidden treasure! Room/cabin was clean comfortable and full of amenities unusual for this kind of setting. Beautiful surroundings of you like quiet, rural water views and hotpools. The staff goes the extra mile to make sure you have what you need! Highly recommend a stay here. We'll be coming back!

The hot pools alone are a great reason to stay here! Do note that some of the accommodations do not include bedding. We ended up upgraded to a 2 bedroom cabin with kitchen and private washroom which did have bedding and towels. Park was well kept with laundry available.

Great stay
We really enjoyed our stay at this property! The hot springs were great and the staff was very professional and friendly. The room was clean and had everything we needed. It was a studio apartment. The park is located right on a bay and it was very pretty.

Great Stay, we'll be back!
Our family stayed in a deluxe chalet and it was so spacious! We had our own private back yard, two separate bedrooms and a large living area. The mineral pool was great, made your skin feel silky smoothe. Will definitely stay there again.

Affordable stay
The cabin we stayed was nice and clean with comfy beds. The shared toilet and shower room was clean n okay. The reception staff was friendly and helpful. It is a quiet place, there's nothing much around the place. It is an one hour drive to Tauranga, booked as it was good deal but that hour drive feels bit much.

Thanks for the great comments! Good to know you enjoyed your stay. We are nearly an hour from Tauranga and try to make sure our guests know this. Let us know if this isn't clear.

Obviously a very busy little place in summer but just as cute in winter. The pools were fun for the kids and the accommodation had everything we needed for a brief stopover.
