I took a group of 45 secondary students to Waingaro as a great way to finish our music tour. We had a fantastic few hours at the pools, loved being able to soak in glorious hot water surrounded by great countryside. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful – they happily ran the hydroslides and bbqs for us at times that suited us, and the facilities were clean and well-maintained. I wouldn’t hesitate to bring a school group to these pools again in the future – and those slides are crazy fun!
