Lovely pools to visit for the relaxation and healing properties. It was a shame that on our visit a few of the midrange temperature pools were closed. I do understand that they do need to be healthy to make us healthy!

Kia ora Pauline Thank you for your review. Our pools are filled naturally from the ground which means we cannot control the temperatures or mineral content which is where the benefits are. This means sometimes we have to close individual pools which would be at a very high temperature and we operate up to the 45" mark. Thank you for visiting our beautiful taonga. Nga mihi Moana

Lovely experience

We booked a family pass for 10 am in the morning. The Springs were a really organic and beautiful experience. Very relaxing, all pools were labelled with their temperature. Very therapeutic.

Relaxing, Natural, and Unique Northland Experience

Ngawha Springs was such a refreshing and down-to-earth experience. The setup is simple but really charming — it’s all about the natural geothermal mineral pools, each with its own temperature and character. We loved trying different pools and the natural warmth was perfect on a chilly winter evening. What stood out most was how non-commercialized it felt — just pure, healing, mineral-rich water in a peaceful setting. It’s clean, well-run, and staff are helpful without being intrusive. Bonus points for the thoughtful touches like foot showers, benches, and clean changing areas. Great for adults looking to soak and unwind — and even our 3.5-year-old was happy to dip into the cooler pools (though not all are suitable for kids, so do ask). Definitely worth a stop if you're heading to or from Paihia or Tāne Mahuta. A real Northland gem!
