This hot springs complex is a long standing popular hot pool! Couple of hydro slides too

Just 40 minutes from Auckland CBD, Parakai Springs has a range of indoor and outdoor pools - as well as two adrenaline pumping hydroslides!

From reviewers:

'Overall such a great family place to go. The temperatures of the pools are perfect. One indoor hot pool, and one big outdoor pool which is nice and warm. The slides could definitely use a bit of TLC, but super fun nonetheless. You can bring your own food. Hiring a BBQ is $25 for an hour. There are plenty of bbqs too. Lifeguards always on watch.'

'Spent a few hours here with 4 teenage boys and they all enjoyed it. Hasn't changed much since I first started going here in the 1980s but it's always kept clean and well maintained.'
