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.

Few pointers

These pools are in a gorgeous location! They are so clean and beautifully presented. The temperature of the pools is amazing!! There are 3 pools for the kids to swim in with the pool you can jump and bomb into. However, if your children aren’t confident swimmers, under the age of 7 and height restricted be prepared to be constantly with with. Apart from the lazy river all the pools drop off in depth without any warning and there is only one area that is roped off because of the depth. Would definitely go again without children and try out the adults only area! I think the adults prices should be lowered if you are heading into the discovery pools with kids

Thank you for taking time to provide us with a review - we're glad you enjoyed yourself.

They didn't like bookme

Lovely place. Superb staff. Only downside was the 15 minutes it took at the start when they couldn't find my booking because bookme doesn't do things right. I felt very sorry for them. They eventually just let me in and said they would follow it up themselves. Is bookme a legitimate site?

Relaxing time

Was relatively quiet when we went. Not as good as Hanmer unfortunately. But view was beautiful!

Soak Away

Awesome place and very well set up with a bit of luxury in mind, just a little to heavy on the chemicals. The changing facilities are super and spotless. Free lockers that are quite large. Very family friendly place with very friendly staff. Thanks for a wonderful experience.
