Miranda Holiday Park Hot Pool Details :: Front Miranda Road, Waitakaruru, Waikato :: nzhotpools.co.nz for the hot pools, hot springs, geothermal pools of NZ

This is a pool with small bays and a lot of seating around the edges of the pool. Its easy to get into/out as it is gently sloping and is consistantly warm - about 38 degrees I believe. Its sheltered from the wind due to its high sides and the pool is covered with shade sails. Overall, a very modern pool which is absolutely magic especially on at night when there is steam all about!

Stayed the night here and had a dip early afternoon. Great temperature, very nice surroundings.

Don't stay here! The power and water was cut to our rooms (due to the office cutting the power to the park) and we had no water or heating for the first night in mid winter and also first thing in the morning when needing showers and toilets it was a nightmare and unsanitary with our children needing showers and toilet. We were given a pathetic compensation of 50% off our next visit (we live in Canada!). This is disgraceful, we would never stay here again, terrible owners, would not recommend staying here. Everything closes for cleaning at about 10 am. That means you cannot use the kitchen,pool or toilet block. It is just a way of getting people out of the camping ground early as you cannot use the facilities for about 2 hours. It certainly makes it hard to have a sleep in on the weekend! Shame on you Miranda Holiday Park! The furnishings in the cabins could be a lot better for the price you pay.

Great cabin, clean and pleasant, and the pool was superb. Lady in the office was really nice and very helpful, with suggestions about where to eat, etc.

I toured the North and South Island extensively for almost 3 months and the spa bath in the huge bathroom in the apartments at Miranda was by far and away the best of any top end facility I stayed at. Not only were the spa jets powerful and strategically placed at neck, back and feet level, there was a choice of fresh water or mineral water from the taps. The outdoor pool is surrounded by a beautifully landscaped garden and rock work with waterfalls. I wish the young couple that manages the park every success as they made my stay so comfortable the first time, I came back on my way back to Auckland. This is truly a first class experience.

We took our 3 grandkids for the day just recently and all had a great time - I had not been for at least 20 years and it is still good. Very clean and really great for adults and kids. We will be back

Great place to stay. We stayed in the new apartments which was excellent as we had our own spa bath where we could choose to fill with either hot mineral or fresh water. The new managers were very friendly and they have these new three wheel tricycles to race around in which kept the kids busy. a bit off the beaten track but worth it.

The PR skills are non existant,and if it were not for the ill mannered management these pools would be great.

This camping ground is lovely and the pool is amazing. Unfortunately it was quite noisey when we were there due to some kind of construction going on. Also, you can hear music from the neighbouring hotpools continually and if you are on business you will not be able to send emails via their service provider as they don't know the server name or password :s

Fab camping ground BUT everything closes for cleaning at about 10 am. That means you cannot use the kitchen,pool or toilet block. It is just a way of getting people out of the camping ground early as you cannot use the facitlities for about 2 hours. It certainly makes it hard to have a line in on the weekend!

Beautiful peaceful spot, with immaculate facilities and pool, lovely landscaping and water temperature just right. Always pleasant guests too. It's expensive, but we keep coming back.

One of the best campsites we have stayed in - very clean. Use of the pool is free of charge which is exceptional not to have to pay on top of the camp fees!! we have stayed 4 times and just love it. Thank you

Our large group enjoyed the as-new spotless facilities and of course the pool. The Manageress needs to brush up her PR skills, the only irritant in a great weekend.

The owners close the pool each day for cleaning between 10 - 12 this is only to get people to leave the camp ground. The furnishings in the cabins could be better for the price you pay. However, an excelent pool and camp ground. Recommended.
