Bather Reviews
Almost didn’t come here because of some of the other reviews, but actually it was totally fine, and we had a nice day here. Nice pools – one fairly hot, the others cooler. Lots of kids around (including ours) but no issues, person at the entrance was friendly.

Lovely clean facility and spacious. Unfortunately the owners are incredibly rude and intolerant of children. Each time we’ve come for a swim we’ve had a negative experience with the owners being grumpy at the children as well as us. Also non swimmers supervising their children getting charged the same as non swimmers does not make sense and makes for a…

My family stayed there for 1 week awhile ago. Safe and clean both pools and camping area. I found the owner to be so helpful and we are maori and poly and all good for us. Sad if others didnt have the same experience.

Owner can be very rude which is a shame as it is a nice setting.Observers get charged the same amount as the swimmers which is expensive.The rude and racist attitude of the owner unfortunately out weighs the nice clean pools and lovely surroundings.

I probably like this best compared to Mt Hot Pools and Fernland Spa for the simple reason the hot pool is the best temperature (hottest of the 3) and uses natural thermal waters that you can feel on your skin unlike the other two that seem cloriney. Well done. Keep it hot and natural please!
Had a family bbq here and was surprised to find that non swimmers paid the same price as swimmers. Found this to be expensive, pools were clean and bbq area great but the attitude of the owner to be a bit rude, and then he over charged us!

This owner has some serious personality issues, in other words NPD. I’d say he needs counselling a the least. We live in the area and it’s very well known amongst the locals to not support this buisness…………be warned Frazer has been know to spoil many happy family outings!
Has an outdoor warm pool – great for active time and a large spa connected to it. I love the fact that it is truly thermal, that they renew the water every day and it does not have chlorine!

Have been to the pools many times and always enjoyed the experience.The owners are always friendly and keen to talk with anyone who will take time to chat.The pools themselves are very clean and the smaller hot pool i am sure is the hottest in the bay which is great.Would advise anyone coming to Tauranga to pay them a visit…
