Public pools & Water park in Papamoa

“Beautiful beach, great for a hot day swim. Also, very fresh air and not much rubbish”

“2km uphill was a hike but we'll worth the views!”

“We’ve had such a great experience with JUMP Swim School. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm, friendly atmosphere that really makes you feel like part of the family. Maria, Tony and the staff are genuinely caring and focused on the well-being and progress of each child, not just ticking boxes. The class sizes are small, which means every child gets the attention they need to grow in confidence and skill, helping kids thrive in the water. Highly recommend for any parent looking for a swim school that’s not only professional but also personal and nurturing.”

“Beautiful hills to walk and the views when you reach to the summit is spectacular love it that's why I always go there for my walking and run.”

“Lovely hiking trails through farmland. It’s not the most gorgeous walk, but it’s very pleasant. The ocean views and views of pastoral land are just gorgeous.”

“Grandchildren had a awesome time”

“I bought the pork spare ribs and they were so full of meat and delicious. I’m a weekly regular at Mitre10 Papamoa and every single staff member are so friendly and knowledgable, a true credit to the owners. Thank you. Jules Walker”

“Fantastic location and things to do! Heated pool, park, trampoline, giant chess board and a big screen and bean bags. Our room was great! Comfy bed, kitchenette had everything we needed and the fridge freezer was a nice size for the 3 nights stay. Awesome view of the Moana from our sea side room. From what I can see the other rooms look just as good. We stayed for the Mana Kuratahi kapa haka 2025. Our kids also loved it. Would definitely return and recommend to whanau and friends.”

“Great swim school and incredible progress in such a short time! The manager and swim teachers are amazing as well as the ability to book make up lessons if we are unable to attend our normal classes. Highly recommend!”

“Shout out to the male staff member (sorry we didn’t get your name) on Sunday afternoon @ papamoa store. We needed a new tv remote after our doggies had destroyed the original. Thank you for guiding us to them & making sure we had the right one. Great customer service. Well done.”

“We want to thank TGA SPA AND POOL FIX for their excellent service. After our initial call , a serviceman came the next day and diagnosed what was wrong with the spa and gave an estimate of costs. Parts were ordered and repairs made in less than a week!!”

“Really tidy, well-kept gym with heaps of gear spread across a few different rooms – cardio lovers are especially spoiled for choice. Any time something breaks, it's usually fixed pretty quick, which is awesome. The staff are always friendly and up for a chat if you need a hand. The pool, spa, and sauna are a solid bonus – feels like a mini holiday after a workout. Only thing I'd change? Wish the opening hours lined up a bit better with my schedule – I'd happily pay extra for 24/7 swipe access. Otherwise, Ocean Blue gets a big thumbs up from me!”

“Great place to freecamp next to the water. Toilets are only 1min walking distance. Bbq and drinking water available.”

“Dont change it,do not plant anything else it doesnt need it”

“Had lunch with the members from Zion after a had start of preaching the gospel in that area. Thanks to God we also played a game of Mafia.”

“Less than 40 minutes from Papamoa, you can be in a part of New Zealand that feels remote, no store, no houses, just natural sand dunes, a river mouth, and a sandy beach. It's a great place to visit, or go to cast your rod and fish. Leave all your cares and the world behind, step back, and enjoy a quintessential NZ North Island beach.”

“I think this is the best playground we encounter for small kids. Our grandchildren enjoyed it a lot.”

“Nice safe quiet place, very friendly, small walk to toilets. Had loo paper and soap. Bbq and outdoor gym, free to use.”

“Excellent place to go and experience bird life ,shooting area for water foul in the season ,secure parking ,and popular with tourists ,recommend for families wanting to get out and explore nature ,user friendly tracks ,”

“I've experienced the enthusiasm of Abbey, to the degree that I forgot I was only at an initial stage. I lost my presence of mind. She is not a witch, thus cannot cast spells, but her demeanor is spellbinding. Choice lady”

“We are so pleased with our new pool pump cover. It looks very stylish matching the existing joinery in the house perfectly. Gavyn and Shannon offer a very friendly and professional service. I would recommend Enclose to anybody. Thanks Guy's.”

“We had a great stay at Te Puke Holiday Park. We stayed in one of the cabins, which were nice and tidy. The showers, toilets, and kitchen were all clean and well maintained. The owner and the other guests at Te Puke Holiday Park were all very friendly and made our stay even better.”
