The best part of our visit was the 3 course meal in the evening. We recommend the sushi and the Nabe, a hot-pot that steams away on your table. And then we couldn't say no to dessert, which we didn't really have room for! Even the breakfast was a cut above the rest. We had booked an Indulgence Package for... More

Culturally flexible and inclined to see the finer aspects of east meets west? This is for you. I read the lower rating reviews with interest. If you are expecting five-star hotel/resort luxury, you are asking too much. It is somewhat eccentric and not easily fitting any catergory, but i found the room clean and comfortable, the hosts and staff first... More

We arrived at Maruia Hot Springs this saturday morning and spent the whole day in the spa. For nz$33,- we bought a public day pass + a 45 minutes private spa room. The weather was good and the spa was a perfect delight. The private spa is a big jaccuzi with very pleasurable warm water. There is also a toilet... More

I had told my spouse about this place and how much better it would be than Hamner, Whoops big mistake. We arrived at lunch time - restaurant not open whatsoever. Lunch could be had but the selection was less that one might find at a Gas Station. In fact it was less than we found at the Gas station. As... More

The reception and cafe have a nice feel to them however the rooms are certainly getting dated and we were disappointed that it's wasn't as luxurious as we were expecting it to be judging by the website photos. In the first room we were given the balcony door did not close or lock. There was no damage to the door... More

Spent one night at the springs March 16th 2013. The staff running the place were very friendly. The pools were nice at 40 deg C. The reception area was nice. The restaurant was very nice and the meals reasonably priced. The accommodation however was a shocker. At $179 a night for 2 star accommodation was not acceptable. Poorly maintained, a... More

We stopped at Maruia Springs Thermal Resort to look around and ended up staying there. It's beautiful, lovely pools, and bathhouse, all of which we had to ourselves. I wonder if everyone else knew to stay away during the height of sandfly season (or are they always that bad?). We were submerged up to our faces but they were in... More

We booked 1 night in Mountain view room, we arrived around 7.30pm and had a wheelchair friendly room. So the bathroom had a wet room type shower, which reminded me of a swimming pool, not very luxurious! The bed was big and comfy, the fittings in the room were dated but clean. We had a meal at the Japanese restaurant... More

we booked an indulgence package for $409 which gave us a room, 3 course dinner, cooked breakfast, massage, 45 minute private pool, and unimited entry to the rock pools 24hours and the bathhouse 8am-10pm. This package is great value for money and everything was of a very high standard. The room was perfect with a large very comfy king size... More
