Relaxing and rejuvenating - Very relaxing environment, the various pools are most enjoyable with different alkaline and acid based compositions and varied temperatures. Great view over lake Rotarua and the hills in the background

I ended up driving there... - I ended up driving there from Auckland. If I had to do it again I would of stayed in the town as there were many other things to do. The pools however were great. For 8 pools I could not feel the difference but I had fun relaxing.

Overall a nice time - Overall I liked the experience. The different pools outdoors looking over the lake were relaxing. It was better during the earlier time we were there when it was less busy. Then we got a massage so enjoyed mine and my spouse did not enjoy his so it's very dependent on who you get. We returned to the pools and they were quite busy. The only other thing I will mention is that the facility could use a facelift, it's very old and dated and it's showing. But still I went there for the pools and the massage and I enjoyed those.

Very relaxing after days of touring. - The thermal baths have different temperatures which are posted. So it's like Goldilocks, i.e. you pick the one that you like the best or go from one to another. The ladies dressing room is very nice as well. It is really nice to view the lake while in one of the thermal pools at sunset.
