1. Fernland Spa Mineral Hot Pools

250 Cambridge Road, Tauranga

In the heart of Tauranga City, you'll find an enticing thermal oasis, appropriately named Fernland. Inside a natural amphitheatre it’s is a different world from the vibrant city, a world of sub-tropical native tree ferns and attractive native flora romantically lit at night to give the spacious pools complex a truly exotic feel.

1 Warner Road, Oropi

A warm (not hot) pool, surrounded by beautifully landscaped grounds, there are also spas available at extra cost for those looking for something hotter. [Kimberly, New Zealand]

A delightful little pool and extremely well maintained. Closes at 8pm from total drainage and refilling. In some ways, it's a pity this process takes so long - I would have liked to stay later. [Andrew A, Wellington]
