Overview

The Deluxe Lake Spa offers a serene lakeside retreat to relax and rejuvenate. Set against the peaceful backdrop of Sulphur Bay on Lake Rotorua, it features five mineral-rich hot pools, including four alkaline and one acidic, ranging from 36°C to 41°C. Refresh in the cold plunge pool or unwind on geothermally-heated loungers. This family friendly space encourages quiet enjoyment, with families welcome to share the experience, though children must remain quiet to preserve the peaceful atmosphere.
