My Experience
I have been to Taupo Hot Springs (beside DeBretts camping ground) several times whilst visiting Taupo. Very much a family oriented place which sports a few interestingly shaped outdoor pools and a dozen private spas. Bring a ball to play with.

Always enjoy coming here, place is always tidy and in a good state of repair. Pools themselves are clean, I enjoy the bigger thermal pool mostly as the smaller one is a tad too hot (others may like this) Only issue is the $22 fee for adults to get in is rather excessive.

My family visited these hot pools this weekend and were disappointed. The facilities at these pools just aren't up to modern standards. The changing rooms and toilets are small and basic. The women's changing room only has 4 cubicles. There was limited places to sit in the pools so alot of people sat on the steps making access in and out difficult. When seats in the pools did become available they weren't particularly comfortable anyway. That said, the setting is great and the pool temperatures are just about spot on, comfortably hot in the lounging pool and cooler in the main pool. More bubble jets would have made an improvement. Whilst I am sure it was particularly busy being school holiday week, we shall not be hurrying back anytime soon.

Greatest place to relax. Water and facilities all very clean. Nice staff too. The hill walk down to the pools is steep, but there is some parking at the bottom if you have elderly/infirm in your group.

Great location, very family friendly. Good to unwind and let life's worries soak out of you. Only negative was playing the damn commercial radio station. 2 songs, 20 adverts, 5 minutes of DJ waffle is not exactly relaxing. Remove that, they would get 10/10.

Hi everyone. Just wanted to say thank you to all the friendly staff for a good time during our recent stay in 2008. This was the best site we stayed at in our hired motor home without a doubt for many reasons. The location is also great for visits. My kids liked the sky movie. The whole area was very clean. By the way the coffee was great also. See you next time.

I love this place! The pools are large enough that I never feel crowded, and the water is so clean! Best part is the water doesn't smell of sulfer. I asked the manager and they said it was because the water source was so deep underground. The surroundings are so beautiful. The private pools are top notch, love the upgrades.

Taupo Hot Springs is by far the best facility we have ever been to, as it caters for children so that busy parents have a chance to relax as well. DeBretts accommodation is brilliant, the staff are friendly and the accommodation is comfortable,while still staying within the budget. A must see!

My favourite hot pools. There is a variety of pools to soak in, from two main outdoor pools at different temperatures, smaller pools and a hydroslide, to private pools with temperatures ranging from toe-tingling hot to just plain warm. All spring water, cf heated lake water at AC Baths.

Compared to a european standard spa this is just two hot pools and a slide. Nothing special, I would not recommend it. Entry fee is too expensive for what you get here.

Has been about 15 years since our last visit. The whole complex was much cleaner than I remember. I thought the prices were reasonable. Very child friendly, my 4 & 6 year old loved the kids play area and the hydroslide was a big hit. Will definately recommend and be returning myself. Tip, go early as the pools filled up after 4:00 with all the sports teams coming in for a relax.

Loved the slide and warm water playground, and also the giant chess board to play on when I'd had enough swimming. It was a great family day. Staff friendly, beautiful surroundings and very reasonable for children.

The water in the main pool could best be described as luke warm at best, the temperature of a large dogs mouth. The large pool was knee height at its deepest point. The hot pool was sufficiently hot, although the large number of prehistoric insects that where floating in the water left much to be desired. The slide was an extra fee, twice as much as admission, I was not aware of the hidden costs went on the slide and was severely reprimanded.

Always go there, and after 21 years of visiting it it never fails to impress. The slide really can take it out of you, even the kids will be stuffed. Then you can always pick your pool to get comfy again
