Swimming Pool

Palm Springs Geothermal Pools Complex

Tucked away in Parakai, northwest of Auckland, Palm Springs Geothermal Pools draws its water straight from a natural geothermal source — warm mineral water that kids tend to find far more inviting than a standard chlorine pool.

What it is

Families with young children are well catered for: under-fours swim free, and swimming nappies are available to purchase on site for those not yet potty trained. A family concession card covers two adults and two children and is valid for ten entries, spreading the cost across several visits.

A café sits on site, giving parents somewhere to warm up with a drink while the kids make the most of the water. It is a straightforward, low-fuss outing — particularly good for a midweek school-holiday day when somewhere warm and easy is needed.

Ooooo yeaaaaa! You know when you have no idea what you’re getting into but the sound of it is, well, sound. And then you get there and you’re like a kid in a candy store! Amazed at every turn. Wow’d with every breath. Well not quite that. But very definitely impressed 🤣 Super. Dooper. Clean. Which is important. At a place where you swim. Asian owned and operated and a large number of the clientele are too. It’s kind of a sleeper, cos from the outside you’re not really expecting miracles. But from louvre sun cover, to clean bathrooms and toilets, to fake grass and sculpted rockeries…. Did I mention 30 minutes from NZ’s largest city. I’m coming back here. Don’t know when. But I’ll be back. 🌿👀👋🌿 if you like our review, please, press follow on our google profile so you can catch our next awesome reviews.

An amazing place for adults to relax in some nice hot thermal pools. Sadly the extra hot pool was closed today but the main pool was hotter than any public spa ive been in. Personally I dont think this is a place to bring children, while there is a small paddle pool for the kids its definitely aimed more at being a quiet retreat for adults with lovely calming music. It feels more like a spa retreat than a water park to bring the kids on the weekends. I saw another review about some possible racism towards brown skinned people and im not disregarding their experience but I am maori and LGBTQ and felt the customer service was top tier. I felt safe and well looked after. The bathroom and shower facilities could do with an upgrade but overall it was as clean as you expect public showers too be so I wasnt disappointed. Will 100% be attending again very soon.

Very clean water and tidy pool area. Sufficient off-street parking. Changing room and hot showers were also clean and well maintained. Plenty of seating.There are three pools ranging in temperature from Luke warm, warm and the adults only, really warm (40 C with temperature checked hourly). Adults only and Luke warm has good shade, warm pool partial shade. Lockers are available for $1. Enjoyed nearly 3 hours alternating from 40C hot to warm pool. A nice, relaxing place with a more senior clientele during week days. Well worth $16 for seniors. Good mix of ramps and stairs for the mobility challenged. Will visit again.

Great place for a hot relaxing dip. A variety of thermal pools to choose from or try depending on your need for heat!!

Never experienced this first hand before and hate to be THAT person but these owners are racist towards browns! Signs say NO diving but no mention of jumping or bombing so my kids and others were doing just that in the deep pool. Owner guy came out yelled NO! Specifically looking at my lot, that was fine. I told my kids to stop, yet other ethnicities (white and Asian) kept doing it, including diving, right in front of him and he never batted an eyelid, so I called him out, asking if my kids are the exception koz they're brown. Literally what it felt like! He ignored me and walked away but kept specifically eyeing up my kids all while other kids still bombing. If I hadn't of paid $75 damn dollars, I would have up and left, but for that extortionate price, I wanted my money's worth! Also witnessed a few other Maori people get called out from the pool, asking if they're sure they've paid 😡 wouldn't you check on entry, not call people out in the pool. Facilities were defs cleaner than parakai but I'll NEVER be back!
