Outdoor pool in Tauranga

“We stayed here for a family wedding and it couldn't have been more enjoyable. The staff and management bent over backwards for us and we could not praise them enough for there efforts. The facilities were excellent and we had the privilege of staying in one of their newly renovated units. Thoroughly enjoyed relaxing in the thermal pools after a big day out exploring the area.”

“What an amazing place to stay! Owners are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Rooms are well maintained and serviced daily to a high standard. Great swimming pool with towels provided for the pool and a trip to the beach! Centrally located and great for trips all around Tauranga. I truly believe this is the best motel I've ever stayed in! Highly recommend staying there.”

“Fabulous place for multiple family activities. Doggie off-lead heaven.”

“Top quality swim school for children from 6 months upwards. Great teachers and very friendly staff. i recommend this place very highly as it teaches children confidence and great technique from a very early age but is never pushy and your child learns and develops skills at their own pace. I especially enjoy the holiday programs which give a real boost to a child's learning journey. Lessons are half an hour each and when a child is confident going under and floating they no longer need a parent in the pool. The staff are very accommodating if you miss a lesson or have more than one child. And Liz van Welie is full of vision and ideas to make the school better and create and friendly and quality environment. There's a play area inside too. Discounts and offers available - mention my name when you enrol your child if this review has helped you!”

“Kids had a blast! Great activity for kids of all ages. Ours range from 10-16 and all loved it (and we did too!) love the new addition and all the work that has been done around the place since we last visited!”

“Beautifully maintained historic site with fantastic gardens. The lovely guide (Judy, I believe) was so knowledgeable and passionate about the topics of the presentation. She added another layer of perfection to an already magnificent experience.”

“Called in to get some bbq wipes and the staff were very helpfull and knowledgeable. The check out lady was very efficient and polite.”

“Very nicely appointed rooms. I don't tend to fall asleep easily but the bed, pillows, and linen were perfection and I slept better than I have in months. Location is great, a very short walk to shops, eateries etc... Bonus points for the fair trade hot drink provisions and the Forest and Bird toiletry products. Definitely recommend and would absolutely stay here again.”

“perfect for the summer or a birthday party, very cold but very nice and refreshing, has chairs and bbq very awesome in the summer, not too deep and very pretty underwater clear and not cloudy, also a deck near the water .”

“What a great campground! The pool and facilities are beautiful, well maintained and clean. I wasn't sure what to expect after the previous review but I was actually amazed with how nice and clean everything was and the bush behind makes it so tranquil! Lots of cool details including the swimwear dryer in the ladies changing room. Definitely keen to come back again!”

Talisman Hotel & Restaurant keeps things simple, bistro‑style and focused on flavour. Portions are generous yet well judged. The room sits relaxed with an easy buzz. Service stays present without fuss.

“Very beautiful lake view cottages, very nice resort. It has a hot spa, pool, chess, gym, and provides cycle/bikes also. Very cozy, clean and nice rooms, with all the facilities. The rooms are also very spacious. Very calm and ambient place. Definitely recommend by me if you are coming to Rotorua. It is 100% worth the price. It is idealistic first day if you are for even at night in Rotorua. The cottages a the lake front have very great views with a common, huge and open backyard. The cottage in which we stayed had included a well equipped kitchen and dining table. There was also an electric fireplace. At night, the views in backyard were very MAJESTIC and photogenic. Overall, the places of great value and a perfect place for a calm, quiet and peaceful weekend/holiday/stay.”

“When open the views and map and compass is awesome to look and reference to that you can view from the top of hill. It's awesome! Caution as it's a popular hookup sight”

“Bloody good. We had a really nice room with views of the pool, tennis court and Mt Maunganui. Well appointed and perfect for our family of four. Very close to beach (across the road). Has everything we could wish for. Staff on reception very nice.”

“Customer service is brilliant, very helpful and friendly. Highly recommended. Thanks for your assistance, received goods super fast. Excellent .”

“Thank you so much Mike. Phoenix and his friends thoroughly enjoyed his birthday treat. Would absolutely recommend the 1 hour tour. A real adrenaline treat for 13 year olds and mum too”

“Stunning, quiet, peaceful location with easy access to Katikati and Tauranga. A high end, purpose built B&B at affordable prices. Beautiful gardens with sun rises and sunsets to view while enjoying your cup or glass of something on the huge sheltered decks . Hosts are exceptional and breakfast fresh, nutritious and plentiful. This was our second stay and we will be back again.”

“Great for children younger and older. Grassed area as well a play equipment. Toilets are on site and well kept.”

“Grandchildren had a awesome time”

“I stopped there and I must admit, there was a very good vibe and I really enjoyed talking with the young owner, so I highly recommend”

“I ordered security doors and window stays through HomePlus Tauranga. Excellent service from the 1st phone call through to the installation. I'm absolutely delighted in the products I received, which I had in a previous home so I was well aware of what I was going to receive. Definitely recommend HomePlus and the products”

“Great facility with a nice wee Cafe”

“I think it would have to be the best mitre 10 mega in the county. Im from Auckland but was doing repairs to my house in Tauranga . Your staff are just amazing .especially the two ladies named SHONA & ROBYN .They went out of there way to find every items i needed and also pointed out what would work best . I have a lot more work to do to the house and apartment but will only go to Mitre 10 Mega from now on . Those ladies should have a payrise ! Awesome experience at your store. Cheers Gerry”

“Super clean & tidy. Great pools at 3 different temperatures. Lovely people who run it & the gardens were amazing. We only live 20mins away but will definitely be back.”

“This is a great space to work out. Aqua Aerobics every week day. Learning pool for children and a hydrotherapy pool. Very clean. Well maintained. Life guards are always on duty.”

“Great variety of flowers, veges and gifts. Had lunch at the cafe. Great service, great food!”

“I love this pool I only wish it was deeper as I'm 6ft1 lol. The staff are awesome and very helpful, the changing rooms are excellent. Heaps of hot water in the showers and also the heaters are on. The pools are heated, kids pool and a spa pool as well. There's even a BBQ there oh I think. I may have to check that out. I've also met lovely people who go to use the pool as well. Go check them out I reckon you will love Swim Zone Te Aroha Pools.”

“I had an amazing stay. I was traveling solo and I always felt very safe and looked after. The location is absolutely stunning, the view breathtaking, the room was spotlessly clean. The team was very helpful and supportive, very caring and positive. I really raccomend this place.”

“We were on a school trip, and the kids loved it. Warm enough to not get cold, but not too warm either. Lots of fun activities for kids, and saunas and spa pools are wonderful, a little bit expensive but well worth it. 5 stars from me”
