He Puna Taimoana Hot Pools

Plenty of time per session. Huge sauna. 2 meter cold plunge! Lots of space. Pretty affordable. I’d go check it out early morning or late at night instead of during the sunny hour next time

Amazing spot to relax and rest your body. Everything was clean - multiple pools, sauna & steam room. Staff were also very friendly and helpful. Book ahead but it wasn’t overcrowded inside.

He Puna Taimoana Hot Pools offers a fantastic experience, especially if you visit during off-peak hours where the pricing is incredibly reasonable – we felt it was great value for money! The changing rooms are very well-appointed and clean, though only one hairdryer was working during our visit. The staff were nice and all the pools were truly lovely, providing a wonderful relaxing soak. My main gripe was having to wait outside in the rain for our time slot rather than in an indoor area, or even the cafe. It would be a much better experience if they allowed guests to wait inside. I definitely recommend booking ahead to secure your spot.

Great spot! Pools of different heat levels and a sauna with a view of the beach. Make sure to book in advance before you arrive. You get a two hour time slot.

We went on a freezing cold October day, driving winds, constant rain and thoroughly enjoyed our session in the hot pools. Do visit the dry sauna if only for the view. We also appreciated the heaters in the change rooms

Friendly welcome and wide range of watery warm experiences. Recommended to everyone, particularly coming from the hot steam room and diving into the sea. The family had so much fun - thank you 😁

Such a beautiful location - right next to the beach! A much different experience to any other hot pools we've been to. I love that they accommodate both families and couples (perfect for date night!). The sunrise sessions are also top notch - a definite must-do for Canterbury locals, and anyone visiting the region. Such an asset to New Brighton ♡

Went on a cold winter's night and loved it. The steam room was super, and soaking in the hot pool under the full moon was pure magic. Perfect way to unwind. Photo is looking out to the beach and pier from the pools.
