Te Aroha Mineral Spas

Service and staff were fantastic! Staff big on client safety which was great to see. Great place to Relax and recharge, and very Private, love the ability to self regulate the temperature of the water. Definitely coming back soon. Draw backs... no hair dryer available and the buzzer was a little frightening after a lovely quiet dip...lol

Really enjoyed the spa here. The large wooden barrels were lovely and comfortable, as was the waft of essential oils in the air and the cool breeze perfectly offsetting the temperature of the water, which we were able to set to perfection. Would have rated it 5 stars if all the staff were friendly (not just the younger ones), there was no loud buzzer jarring us back to reality at the end (the blue light would do) and if the plants were real. Overall though, a lovely experience and highly recommended. We didn't upgrade to the Valentine's day package, and it was still great.

Honestly, I don’t like giving a low score or negative feedback, but I wasn’t particularly impressed with the spa. The sealed room felt too small for my family of three and offered no view. Additionally, there wasn’t enough space for changing or storing clothes. At $129 per hour (plus an extra charge for a towel), it’s not cheap. As other reviewers have mentioned, the water didn’t appear clean, with noticeable fragments, such as what looked like sawdust or dead skin, floating in it. On a positive note, the staff were friendly, and the nearby Domain is quite attractive.

On a cold winter’s day, a 60min soak in a cedar tub filled to the brim with soft warm mineral water was just perfect! Friendly helpful staff and pristinely clean amenities made this a most pleasant experience. Afterwards, a short walk to the Mokena Geyser and a further wander through the surrounding bush on the Domain Upper Walk was a great finish. Notwithstanding the apparent cleanliness, you may want to take jandals for moving between changing area and bath, and remember your moisturising lotions (or buy at reception) if you’re not heading off for a massage thereafter.

Outstanding! You don’t realise how much stress you actually carry until you’ve been in these mineral hot tub. Super clean, lots of room, water as hot as you like to have. Lovely ambiance. Toilet and shower available. 💯 wonderful. So worth it.
