Welcome Bay Hot Pools and Holiday Park Hot Pool Details :: Welcome Bay Road, Tauranga, Bay of Plenty :: nzhotpools.co.nz for the hot pools, hot springs, geothermal pools of NZ

Good sized hot soak pool, bigger cooler pool and toddlers pool. Surrounded with barbecues and picnic tables for socialising. Beautiful camp ground. Very helpful and pleasant owners. Ice Creams and drinks at office. [Margaret, New Zealand]

I took my two boys to Welcome Bay Hotpools. The pools themselves were very relaxing, the owner though was a very rude man. He shouldn't even be allowed to own a business. I thought the customers was always right, but according to the owner apparently not. I don't recommend these hotpools to anybody until the owner sells the business.

I visited my daughter and took my 3 grandchildren to the pools for a swim. My daughter has been in the uk but on retunring back to the pools we found them in the same excellant condition as when we left. Children ages 3-7 (tall for their age) but not at one stage were any of the three pools too deep for them -so excellant for families. There is excellant barbee facility and changing rooms were clean. The pools were sparkling clean a+++ The owner - well I cannot comment on other peoples encounters but it always seems to be the people who moan put comments- so just remember that hundreds of others attend the pools without any issues. I found the staff to be friendly. For a family there is no question for me - The Welcome Bay pool is the best family pool in Tauranga.

The pool setting was good, the kids enjoyed the clean pools, the ATTITUDE of the owner was disgusting, he was rude obnoxious, intimitating, dis-respectful to WOMEN, creepy, threatning, i would not re-comend these pools because of this owner. This is a person that OWNS a business & treats his customers that helps him pays his bills & feeds him every week & keeps his business a-float in these tuff times. For us to go to these pools & ENJOY an evening swim was ruin by this RUDE/OBNOXIOUS man....I WILL NEVER STEP FOOT ON THIS PUBLIC PLACE AGAIN....

Very Very rude hot pools owner, disgusting customer service. If you own a business like he does you do not talk to people to way he spoke to my sister & myself. NO RATING GIVEN, will not be going back there, plenty of others to choose from in Tauranga.

I've given these hotpools a 5, only because of the pools themselves. If the owner was a bit more friendlier then maybe I would've given it a rating of 8+. I recomend Fernland Spa on Cambridge Road or Oropi Hotpools.

I love these hot pools. They are always very clean and the surroundings are very peaceful. The owners have always been very, very friendly towards us. I go every other week and just love it! Could do with a bit more foliage around the pool area tho.

Fantastic place to stay, quiet, clean and with lovely owners who couldn't do enough for you. Camp facilities some of the best I have come across although kitchen area is small. Hot Pool facilities are great, very clean and pools cleaned daily. We intend to be back there regularly as one of the best we have visited and stayed at.

My mother came over for a day visit and suggested that she take her 1.5yr grandson for a swim. We came to these pools as kids, maily for the slide and could not remember what the pools were like. We were just blown away by the cleanlyness of the pools and the grounds. The pool sign says water changed and cleaned every day - I can believe it! We all had a great time and nana wants to bring the other grandchildren over for a swim. We are thinking of having our childs party at the pools - will make a great event place as there are barbee's provided with heaps of shelter. Well done on being one of the best hot pools we have been to in a very long time!

Excellent clean modern pool, set in the countryside. Slide no longer operating sadly. I found the balance of temperatures just perfect. It was a welcome relief to get into the cooler pool from time to time, but it wasn't too cool. I usually like my thermal waters murky and smelly. But I have to say thanks to the Welcome Bay pools I've come to appreciate that natural, un-chlorinated crystal clear thermal water is fantastic. The neighbouring camp ground has also been done up in recent times and is very clean and organised. Either the pool or the campground could do with a trampoline to keep the kids happy.

This is my favourite when we visit family in Tauranga. I love it because you can sit in the really hot plunge pool and watch the kids playing in the cooler pool. The only negative is I took kids there at night once and lighting over pool wasnt good thought it a bit dangerous, but that was a while ago and I think there is new owners now so might have improved it, Very reasonable prices to.

Nice and clean. I found the hot pool too hot and the cooler pool too cold, however where the hot pool flows into the cooler pool it was quite pleasant but everyone seems to want to sit there!
