I had query about my booking, the staff answered phone so warmly and said no problem come on down. Felt so welcomed and staff treated me like a long lost friend and it set the tone. The facilities great, sitting in nature and birdsong was a delight and the waters feel like they are healing for body and mind. Would come again and would recommend.
A great place to unwind and reset. Give it a couple of hours at least and you'll come out feeling great. Lockers ($5) for your valuables but we've always found it safe to hang ours in a bag close to each of the pools. Take plenty of drinking water. On our recent 3rd visit, the middle pool was cooler than before and the top one not so hot but that didn't affect our enjoyment of the whole experience. Highly recommended.
Love these pools. 3 pools different temperatures. Changing rooms a little basic. Only one shower and toilet, if this was improved then these would be even better.
Perfect place to rest and refresh
