Description

Welcome to Polynesian Spa! Experience for yourself why readers of the prestigious Conde Nast Traveller magazine voted us as one of the top ten spa's in the world in the natural, medical and thermal category 2004-2007, and 2009.

Set in a New Zealand native bush environment, our Lake Spa Retreat offers deluxe mineral bathing and a comprehensive range of spa therapies. Just for adults to unwind in, is the Priest Spa (believed by some to have curative properties) and a large Adult Pool. Also available are Private Pools and a Family Spa - including a large freshwater chlorinated pool, with a toddlers area and small hydroslide.

To complete the Polynesian Spa experience, sample delights from our Hot Springs Cafe and try a little retail therapy at our Spa Gift Shop.

  My Experience

  A unique blend of classy professionalism and raw, natural authenticity. The outdoor adults-only spas are the real treat because you can choose the hot pool with the temperature you can handle. Your skin tingles with the minerals. Love it.

  1. In response to tuure: It's a good place to go with reasonable price. A suggestion, if you don't want to see the naked Chinese, better to pay extra and go to a private pool on your own. Then you'll just see your own naked there. Thanks~

  3. Lovely, nice facilities. My one small gripe is the price, but I'd still be very willing to visit again!

  4. This was a gorgeous place for us! The staff was more then friendly and helpful. Everything was very clean and tidy and at the night you can see the Rotorua Lake with all the lights in the dark while sitting in the hot pool! We had a great time after long driving hours in the car. It is a fantastic, very nice and relaxing spa. Don't miss it!

  5. I went there, it was gr8! Dad won't get out of the spa pool though. I highly recommend it to anybody going to Rotorua. We used to go ever Christmas until the petrol prices rose. We went to Volcanic fields and Skyline too! After all that fun and walking, it's good to soothe and relax in spas and thermal spas are even better!

  6. Further to my last comment, i have now found out they do have 13 brand new private pools i had a look on their website and they look very lush! even more reason to revisit. I would highly recommend the hot pools to anyone visiting rotorua from NZ or abroad! They are the best hot pools in the north island if not NZ!

  7. I used to go here every trip through rotorua and i would always go back. The hot pools are great, shame about no private pools anymore, but the outdoord pools are cool as they have several pools all with different temeratures to choose from. Havent had a massage there yet but this time will try one out, looking forward to returning

  8. well 40 dollars later seriosly dissapoinrted i thought it would be an impressive spa with beautiful views but realised i had been dreaming although my skin didn't react to the water and i had a massive headache and felt a little better for being there. Is over-priced but i wouldn't pass it up if you have the money

  9. For a commercial spa it's still quite nice although the seagulls and their excrement is a tad off-putting! The facilities were clean apart from that and the staff lovely and friendly. Visited 9/8/07

  10. NZ's political correctness gone mad that you can no longer enjoy private spa room by yourself, you HAVE to be accompanied by someone...prices are crazy now and services are crap.....no longer a place worthy to go....

  14. My husband and I thoughrougly enjoyed the pools and exquisite pampering of the spa 1/2 hour programs on our one year anniversary. We have made a plan to go back every May to celebrate in style. Rotorua is fantastic and a wonderful place to get away from Auckland.

  15. I find the Spas very good indeed, the whole complex is inviting, an enjoyable family experience and not as costly as I first thought, I would recommend it.
