Description

A fairly modern complex with 2 main hot pool areas. The larger swimming pool has a long cool curve with a hidden cave fully equipt with electric glow worms and geode encased stalactites. The waters at this end are pleasingly tepid. At its deepest point its around chest height but the shallows are child friendly gentle slopes. Swimming up the gentle current under a bridge leads to the warmer mini hot pool where you can relax and sip your choice of a selection of alcoholic drinks - although the cocktails are a little pricey. Payment is by account number on your wrist band.Wander down a wee path through the bush and youll discover the smaller but much hotter sequence of 3 interconnected pools. The concrete cliffs with embedded gold tiles leave you thinking of an aztec influence however the birds are far from shy and Tuis are clearly at home amidst the bathers. [Susie, New Zealand]

  2. I also found the receptionist a bit rude. Nevertheless, it is a great place but you get the felling it is still a work in progress and therefore it needs to be priced accordingly.

  3. We attended at the Lot Spring, along with two overseas friends of ours. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and will highly recommend to others. No wonder we took a couple of pamphlets with us to spread the word. We didnt even know about the Lost Spring, but it was overseas visitors, searching the net from afar, that they put us onto the experience. Many thanks

  5. Best thermal pools in the country. And I've been to them all! Magical at night time- rain or shine-a true treat after a day seeing the sights of the peninsula.

  6. A very special place to visit. The service, the style and the romantic setting were out of this world. A "magical" place!

  7. We called on Sunday 6/9/2009 and were not impressed by the receptionist. She was very unfriendly and if it was'nt for us coming to have lunch with an old school friend who had made a booking a few of us would have walked out. As it was one of the group decided to eat elsewhere. To put it briefly we weren't made to feel welcome and won't return.

  8. Probably one of the best commercial thermal pools in NZ. The setting is gorgeous and the water is great. Your skin feels fantastic afterwards. The Day Spa is lovely and the food in the restaurant first class.

  11. This facility is 5 star all the way. Adults only with bar service, great resturant, amazing gardens and full spa treatment menu. You get what you pay for, this is a real treat. Can't wait to go again.

  12. The Lost Spring is not just a hot pool it is a magical experience in itself. Although in Whitianga when you drive in those big gates you are stepping into a tropical paradise. The pools have been made with love and passion and that is truly visible. Heaps of character and class. Wonderful place to spend time with friends. The restaurant is also highly recommended.

  13. A luxurious collection of hot pools with beautiful surroundings - palm trees and tuis - crystals embedded into the labyrinth of caves between the pools. The temperature of the pools range from 30 - 42 and this is a nos under 14 thermal park with an excellent restaurant attached as well as the pure indulgence spa. Just spent a day there - it was bliss.

  17. Fantastic experience, friendly staff, great service. Pools were beautiful and clean, imaginatively set amongst natural vegetation, with varying temperatures to alternate between. Highly recommended! A real piece of paradise tucked away in the little town of Whitianga.

  18. Probably the best and most luxurious geothermal pools in NZ. Crystal clear water, a fabulous bush setting. Excellent restaurant and a popular day spa for massage and beauty therapy. Great story which featured recently on TV3 and on cover of AADirections magazine.
