A lovely spot with a range of pool temperatures. It was a cold evening and the pools were steaming. It was a unique experience.
first time but will be back. Water is so clear and can see the hot spring falling down to the pools. Experience is perfect. Will bring friends and family back
The pools are very well set out. Clean and beautiful environment. We went when it was not too crowded. Loved the varying temperatures in each pool and you can find your favorite one to relax in.
Awesome place

Relaxing hot soak
We visited Wairakei Terraces - Thermal Hot Pools with my friend on a Saturday evening. Although there were many people there that night it was still a pleasant and extremely relaxing experience.
