TAKE A BREATH… RELAX

Today’s Status Update

Open     On Request     Closed

Important Announcements

Spring is here, and we’re refreshing our pools in preparation for summer. From 6–23 October, four of our hot pools will be open with slightly adjusted hours due to refurbishments: weekdays 12pm–8pm and weekends 11am–8pm. Please check our daily status update for specific activity opening hours.
Work on refurbishing our Pukaki Pool (middle pool) is progressing at pace, and we now have a light-wrapped scaffold in place. This enables the refurbishment work to continue without weather effects. Whilst most of the work will occur prior to opening, some work will be undertaken within the wrapped area during opening hours.
Tekapo Springs will be fully closed during the daytime from 13–15 October while essential maintenance is carried out. For health and safety reasons no guests can be on site, and by focusing this work into three days we can minimise disruption. Our stargazing tours will continue as normal in the evenings.
We’re still looking forward to seeing you this October, and we’re offering a Spring Clean Discount of 10% on all hot pools tickets during this period (6–23 October). We’re excited to share the refreshed facilities with you once the upgrade is complete and thank you for your continued support.
