Hiking the Mount Maunganui Base track is a wonderful way to discover this beautiful part of the east coast of the north island, the track is very popular with locals for their fitness as are the other tracks which go up to the summit of the mount. The suggested time to complete the 2.5 km track is fifty minutes but can be done in a shorter time. Access to the track is at Mount Maunganui Beach, near the surf club and caravan park, paid parking is available on the street.

Make sure you've got good shoes on and comfortable clothing, this is a great workout, especially for the baby boomer generation. The track was very dry the day we climbed the mount, ergo it was quite slippery, and we had to watch our step going up. The views once you reach the summit are stunning. The sense of achievement feels pretty good too! Going down, we chose the steep steps which were also a challenge, and our thighs felt it the following day. Overall a great experience!

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!

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!
