Description Private hot tubs in clean and tastefully decorated surroundings. Silky hot soda water with adjustable temperature and optional bubbles. Reasonably priced for the quality of the spa complex. Highly recommended! [Lauren Williams, New Zealand] Recently rebranded to distinguish between the exquisite (and now very expensive) mineral spa pools and spa treatments, and the chlorinated water in the outdoor public pools (which do not contain mineral water) [Sheldon Nesdale, NZHotPools.co.nz]
If approaching from the North (eg Auckland), make your way to the centre of town, and proceed one block turning left into Boundary Street. The entrance is 150m up the road on your right. If approaching from the south (eg Hamilton), make your way to the centre of town, turn right into Whitaker St and then take your next left into Boundary Street. If approaching from the East (eg Tauranga), turn right into Boundary Street which is one block before the centre of town. [Sheldon Nesdale]

 My Experience
I have made several trips to Te Aroha Mineral Pools since I lived in Hamilton between 2002-2006. It is certainly one of my favourites. The outdoor pools are fine for families but the real treat is after sunset in the private spas. You choose between large wooden or stainless steel tubs. The water is amazing! It is high in silica and feels so smooth and slippery but not greasy. Hard to describe really, do try it for yourself (be sure to book ahead). The refit in 2007 has lifted the professionalism of this already first rate facility. Fantastic!
Update 21 Jun 08
I tramped to the summit of Mount Te Aroha (3.5 hours round trip) with some friends and we were all looking forward to a hot soak. But alas! The outdoor pool was closed because of "lack of staff", and the private pools were booked solid until 9pm that night! (it was only 3.30pm at the time). Absolutely gutted. :(

- Beautiful place to de-stress. Although the staff are polite they're slow at returning calls. I made an attempt to book for Fathers day as my first and last visit was awesome. I rang on a Friday, the Saturday and Sunday and even sent an email regarding a reply. I left numerous messages I'm still waiting for a reply today! Anyway, when your actually in there, its fabulous! The Administration team could do with some further training or support, that's the only weakness I have to share.

- I absolutely loved going swimming at the pools and have an appointment at the private spas. Someone drowned somewhere in NZ and now NOONe can bathe alone. Overkill!! What is happening to NZ? Noone will ever have to take any personal responsibility for BIG BROTHER will be watching out for you. How sad and I really need these baths to stay healthy. I LOVE them.

- great hot tubs to go to well worth the trip once a month for a bit of relaxation. the smaller tubs are the best tub to have the bubbles are a lot stronger than the big tubs

- I wish we had the pleasure of actually going inside & seeing for ourselves what the crave is all about... Honestly, we didn't have a very warm welcome because the old man that was working on the day wasn't very nice to us at all. Told us to move our vehicle & didn't even give us the opportunity to ask what we had heard so many good things about... Pity that, we will now never know...

- I have visited the pools and the private spas and found them to be world class. The outdoor leisure pools are great for the kids and if you ask the friendly staff they will put the water mushroom on. Plenty of lifeguards on site and well maintained area. The private soda spas are amazing, the water is soft and silky, I have tried both the Wooden and stianless aromatheraphy baths, the great thing about them is you can control the temperature and bubbles This is one of the only hot pools i have been to that gets you to read a health and wellness check and goes through procedures about how to use the room all the staff are friendly and well informed about the area.
If you have a special someone try the romance package, my hubby surprised me, the room had been set up with candlelight, there were chocolates and rose, also we didn't need to be ring towels or a drink as they were also included, well worth the $60 for a treat.
Overall a fabulous place to visit with or without the kids would also recommend booking the spas in advance as they are relly popular and you could find yourself with a few hours wait.

- I live locally to these and go back time and time again. The public pools are always clean and a nice temperature, and the big spa up the top is perfect for soaking in.
However the highlight for me is always the private mineral spas. These big wooden half barrel tubs are perfect for a romantic evening with the amazing soft water, adjustable temperature so you can have it how you like it, and bubbles option. Or get the stainless steel tub and add your own essences or bath salts for the aroma therapy feel. I wont swim anywhere else after swimming here. No point in travelling for less than half the standard of what i have 5 minutes up the road. :D

- Real nice place, beautiful setting, definitely will come back here. Water was a bit dirty but in an ok way - natural sediment or something like that I imagine. You tend to get that.... Although it does seem a bit irky.

- Been coming here since a kid and now my family too. Picturesque bush surroundings, friendly staff mostly, clean complex with good facilities, reasonably priced. Down side is the main pool is often too cold and a bit poky with an annoying divider in the center of the pool. The spa pool is quite small but pleasantly hot and attracts a $1.00 surcharge.

- We took young kids to the Te Aroha hot pools in September 2006. Despite all the good press we had read, we were dissapointed with the size of the pool and the temperature. It was not very warm in fact the youngest kids did not want to get into the pool.

- I feel like a sad sack but the pools I found were the ones for kids with a big pool and toddler pool. Clean and very well run but not hot enough. I had the kids with me so liked the bigger pools but found them only tepid.

- Best mineral pools Ive been to in NZ. Spotlessly clean, well run, friendly. Public pool(s) good for kids - include a toddlers pool, a main pool and a large spa pool. But for real indulgence use a private pool. They are currently building more private pools on site to cater for demand. Te Aroha town is old and quaint - has seen better days but there are some first rate restaurants and accommodation in town. Was a popular tourist destination in the early 1900's, and there are a number of old buildings near the pools that reflect this. A bit off the beaten track but worth the visit.

- Best hot pool I've been to in a long time! Private Spa's are fantastic, can adjust temperature, bubbles on or off, private shower and toilet. Relaxed my whole body, slept like a baby afterwards, highly recommend the journey to these pools to anyone from Hamilton (like me). Website does need a map and/or better directions though, I got a bit lost. Make sure you book ahead!
