on the way to CHCH decided to do a quick book me for the Pools and have a fab time with my friend acting like kids (57). place is amazing and at the book me price will be returning with the rest of the family shortly.
Absolutely loved our visit to Ōpuke Thermal Pools & Spa! The lazy river pool was hands down the highlight — floating along in beautifully warm water while it was raining on a summer day was such a unique and relaxing experience. With the temperature around 10°C, the contrast between the cool rain and the hot pools was pure bliss. We also spent time in the cave pool, which was incredibly soothing and had a lovely, calm vibe. There were only 8 of us in total, so it felt uncrowded, peaceful, and perfect for unwinding. The facilities were fantastic — water fountains for free drinking water, complementary lockers, tidy hot showers, a swim costume dryer, and excellent reception staff who made everything smooth and welcoming. Honestly, it turned out to be the perfect day for a hot pool soak — rain, cool weather, great facilities, and a relaxed atmosphere. Can’t recommend Ōpuke enough and will definitely be back!
This is our second time to Opuke and it didn't disappoint. Clean, not jam packed and beautiful warm weather. The 2.5m jump pool a big hint with the small person. Food at the cafe was yummy. Highly recommend.

가족여행 피로회복
마운트쿡에서 이틀밤을 머물며 많은 트랙을 다녀왔어요. 특히 레드탄이 천개 넘는 계단이라 다리가 많이 아파 피로회복을 위해 방문했습니다. 한여름 온수풀이 너무 덥지 않을까 걱정했는데 전혀 그렇지 않았습니다. 20대 아들 10대 딸 모두 현지 청소년들과 워터건을 주고받으며 즐거워했어요. 어른도 쾌적하고 편안한 분위기에서 잠시 여행의 피로를 풀기에 아주 좋습니다. 스탭들 매우 친절하며 낯설었던 샤워 탈의 시스템도 금세 익숙해졌어요. 근처 라카이아 고르게가 은근 비경이니 구경다녀온 후에 들르면 좋습니다. 바로 옆 스키타임리조트 레스토랑도 강추합니다. 아시안이 드물어서인지 외려 더 극진하게 대접합니다.
