Soak away your cares at Tekapo Springs

in ,

Offering magnificent views across Lake Tekapo and the Two Thumb Mountain range beyond, Tekapo Springs are the perfect alpine hot pools. Relaxation is made easy here. There are three pools in a tiered formation with native alpine plants dividing them. It is recommended to start at the bottom pool, which also happens to be the coolest, and work your way up. The hottest pool is also adults only and offers the most spectacular lake views. On a freezing, icy cold winters morning, with snowflakes fluttering in the air, there is probably no better place.

A day spa is also on site offering lots of indulgent treatments. I haven’t yet tried it but I did notice it offered a 60 minutes, hot stone massage. I will most certainly be back to treat myself as it seems too good a way to spend an hour!

There is also a café on site for much needed refreshments after your dip. It also has great views - just for a change…….
