Waingaro needs a huge tidy up, it has been run into the ground .. TV1 or TV2 did a little report on the pools Jan/Feb and it was a total misrepresentation of the place. It is a mess, the owners can be very rude and in the piece on the news they showed they had lots of lifesafing guards in yellow coats. In the half dozen times i have been there i have NEVER NEVER seen any guards on duty at all! It more like they had told the locals to come in for a free day and pretend to be staff members.
It is a shame because with a little effort and money it could be made a lot nice
