Started in the waiting area with a relaxing mineral footbath, choosing which massage you want from the 'menu', then taken to a private room. I had the 1 hour Deep Oil Massage, medium pressure... could have stayed lying there for ever! It was wonderful, with the delightful young Thai woman expertly massaging my entire body bit by bit. All the staff were lovely and very attentive, in beautifully presented premises with great attention to detail. And what a lovely finishing touch at the end to be ushered to another room for a herbal tea and choc treat. Can't wait to go back!

Recently visited the Lion and Tusk Museum in Tauranga. It is a most impressive display of Rhodesiana Military Memorabilia with a couple of special displays highlighting Kiwis who served in the Rhodesian Army. The Museum is manned by knowledgeable volunteers who are available to answer any questions. A must visit for all residents and visitors to Tauranga. To get the most benefit spend a couple of hours enjoying the displays and browsing the extensive library.

As far back as 500BC, Hippocrates recognised the benefits of warmed seawater for its ability to rebalance and detoxify our bodies. Salt water bathing was believed to improve mobility by easing muscle and joint inflammation, and general aches and pains. Today, those healing properties remain, and it’s all right here beneath the majesty of Mauao, Mount Maunganui. Come and soak in our heated salt water pools and experience the benefits for yourself. Top it off with a massage from our friendly and experienced therapists to really treat your body.

Great facility here! Therapeutic soaking of sore and weary bodies, or use the active area for those more athletic! Water jets are great therapy and having at least one pool age restricted to 16+ gives some respite for “oldies”. If you can prove you are a true local, you can get a discounted entry fee!
